Maple Pharmacy

It’s World Multiple Sclerosis Day. More than 4,000 Canadians are diagnosed with the condition every year.

If you have been diagnosed—or you’re caring for a loved one who is—our pharmacist can support you with information about medications and other ways to manage your condition, and more.

Warmer weather means more bugs – and bug bites! With the right precautions, you can keep mosquitoes, black flies, and ticks at bay while you enjoy the great outdoors.

To prevent bug bites, cover up with light coloured clothing, minimize exposure to bugs (by using mosquito netting over strollers to protect babies, for example) and use insect repellent.

When using bug spray, never spritz it directly onto your face, wash your hands after application and always read and follow the directions on the bottle. Get all the “deets” on insect repellent products containing DEET, from Health Canada:
