Warmer weather is here – which means dreaded allergy season is on the horizon. While allergy sufferers may not be ready to address seasonal allergy symptoms just yet, our pharmacists recommend preparing 2-4 weeks in advance to help mitigate symptoms effectively. Here are a few pharmacist-approved tips for managing allergy symptoms this spring: ✔️ Understanding allergy relief medications: Our pharmacists can discuss treatment options such as antihistamines, corticosteroids and decongestants, to ensure specific symptoms are addressed by the correct medication. ✔️ Double-check the label: Many products are available in adult and children’s formulations. Choose an age-appropriate formulation and follow the recommended dosage guidelines – use the correct amount, at the right time of day, for the recommended length of time. ✔️ Lifestyle recommendations: When pollen counts are high, minimize exposure by keeping windows closed and limit outdoor activities. Change clothing and shower promptly to prevent pollen from contaminating indoor surfaces. Preparedness is critical, and Rite Aid is here to help! Our pharmacists can help develop a personalized treatment plan to meet our customers’ health and wellness goals – so everyone can enjoy the outdoors without interruption. #Spring #AllergyTips #SeasonalAllergies

Flu is spiking nationwide, with some areas seeing their highest levels in decades.
