A popular teething gel for children is being pulled off supermarket shelves. From October, Bonjela will only be available in pharmacies, with concerns overuse can prove toxic for infants. To discuss, @_AMcCormack7 spoke with pharmacist @AFusillo14. https://t.co/5zYfOfGqUb #7NEWS
There’s a misconception that paracetamol is just a “safe” medication. In overdose paracetamol can be fatal. Limiting pack sizes is one way to prevent stockpiling & accidental overdose #pharmacist#medication
Paracetamol pack sizes will be cut to just 16 tablets and customers will only be able to purchase one pack at a time, under strict new rules > https://t.co/nYxAC6aGT0
A lot of people in this country believed the government & media’s negative depiction of the AstraZeneca vaccine early on, but won’t believe the same government & media about the real risk of Covid & would rather “wait it out” than get vaccinated.
I actually can’t understand this
Disappointed that Community Pharmacy is still bundled in with all other “retail” outlets. We are only providing medications to the public - if we didn’t exist, imagine the Public Health crisis we would face.
Not only are we going to work everyday to ensure the public has access to medications & health advice, we are having to deal with people expecting everything to be FREE, blaming us for out of stock situations & government enforced limits on medications #Pharmacists#COVID19au
Finally some awareness around what we as pharmacists have had to deal with over the last month. We are just trying to do our job, no one deserves to put up with this kind of behaviour. #PharmacistsOnTheFrontline#covid19au https://t.co/3fJh7vI6v4
As the buffer in the healthcare system, where is the government protection for us Community Pharmacists? Great that there’s a med delivery system - but what’s in place to prevent the inevitable influx of people when they can’t get to their GP? #COVID19Aus
Hey @ScottMorrisonMP, would a community pharmacist classify as a primary health service? YES they do! Where is their option for Telehealth?! #Covid_19#COVID19Aus
