Asthma/Respiratory Management

UFS Editor — Wed, 04 Oct 2017 06:23:09 +0000

Asthma is one of the most common chronic conditions and affects people of all ages.

The treatment goal for most patients is to be symptom free but unfortunately many are not as well controlled as they could be. This may be due to poor inhaler technique, smoking, underuse of preventative medication or maybe environmental factors are causing problems. UFS Chemist can assist patients to change this.

Call in and talk to one of our pharmacists and take back control of your asthma.

Weight Management

UFS Editor — Wed, 04 Oct 2017 04:59:11 +0000

Obesity is a chronic health condition affecting many Australians and increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes, obstructive sleep apnoea and osteoarthritis.

There are many treatments and diets promoted, not all of them effective and some may have even have serious long term consequences. Unfortunately we live in a world where obesity is easily achievable but very difficult to reverse without understanding the reality of what needs to be done and the hard work involved.

UFS Chemist offers treatment in consultation with a pharmacist to maximise realistic long term outcomes based on sound principles and nutritional management.

Complementary Medicines Advice

UFS Editor — Wed, 04 Oct 2017 04:40:49 +0000

Mother Nature has provided us with some excellent natural medicines but these medicines still need to be used appropriately.

Natural does not always mean completely safe and in fact some of the most dangerous substances discovered are of natural origin. Some natural medicines interact with common prescription items and may not be used in some cases.

A UFS pharmacist can advise which complementary medicines are safe and effective for your condition or ailment.
