As we prepare for Hurricane Francine, itโs important to take a moment and review some essential tips for staying safe, especially for those on regular medications. Natural disasters can create unexpected challenges, and ensuring you have access to your medications can be life-saving. Here are four key points to keep in mind:
1. Keep Medications Accessible: In case of evacuation, always pack your medications in a waterproof bag and keep them with you at all times. Donโt forget to include a list of your medications and dosages.
2. Prepare for Power Outages: Medications that require refrigeration, like insulin, can be safely used for a few days or even weeks if stored at room temperature. Make sure to have an insulated cooler and ice packs ready in case of power loss.
3. Emergency Refills: Before a storm hits, contact your pharmacy to get an emergency refill of essential medications. Many pharmacies will accommodate these requests during hurricane warnings.
4. Plan for Delays in Emergency Services: During and after a hurricane, EMS and medical services may be delayed. Continue taking life-saving medications until you can access more, and make sure you have enough on hand to last through potential disruptions.
Staying prepared is key to staying safe! ๐ช๏ธ๐ #HurricanePreparedness #MedicationSafety #HealthFirst #StaySafe
โจ Letโs talk about #Ozempic and why shaming people for using it to lose weight needs to stop. Medications like Ozempic, part of the GLP-1 agonist family, have been around since 2010, and many are used off-label all the time. But what does off-label even mean? ๐ค
โ ๏ธ A quick reminder: Be very careful ordering Ozempic, Semaglutide, or Mounjaro online. Compound pharmacies are not held to the same standards as FDA-approved medications, and what you receive may not even be the actual drug. These medications need to be prescribed by a licensed physician and monitored carefully for safety. Be cautious out there! ๐จ
Whether itโs to manage blood sugar or weight loss, these are tools to improve health, but only when used safely and correctly. So letโs leave the judgment behind and support everyoneโs personal health journey! ๐ชโจ

๐จ Attention East Bank of New Orleans and Algiers Residents! ๐จ
A boil water advisory is now in effect. Please use bottled water for drinking and consumption. If using tap water, boil it for at least one minute to kill any harmful viruses or bacteria. Use boiled water to wash food, counters, or any surfaces that may lead to ingestion of pathogens.
Children and those with weakened immune systems are most vulnerable. If you experience diarrhea for more than 3 days, have a fever, or notice blood in your stool, see your doctor immediately. Avoid dehydration by drinking rehydration fluids and bottled water. Remember to discard the ice in your ice maker for 3 cycles.
๐ง How to Properly Boil Water:
1. If tap water is cloudy, let it settle and strain through a clean cloth, paper towel, or coffee filter.
2. Hold water at a rolling boil for at least one minute.
3. Let water cool before drinking or storing.
๐ Clean Drinking Water Uses:
* Drinking
* Making ice (discard any potentially contaminated ice)
* Brushing teeth
* Preparing baby formula, food, and drinks
* Giving pets water
You donโt need purified water for laundry, washing hands, or bathing, but avoid getting water in your eyes or mouth. Use purified water for bathing young children, immunocompromised individuals, and people with open wounds.
For washing dishes, soak them in a mixture of water and bleach for at least a minute after washing.
๐ฟ After the Advisory is Lifted:
* Flush plumbing by running all cold water faucets for at least five minutes.
* Flush appliances connected to the water line, like refrigerators and dishwashers.
* Replace disposable filters that have come in contact with contaminated water.
* Dump and replace ice from ice makers three times.
Stay safe and take care! ๐

Since then, weโve covered numerous health topics and shared vital knowledge to keep people safe and educated on their health. I am immensely grateful for this journey, especially for meeting new colleagues who have turned into lifelong friends.
