Cough and Cold

Did you know...

Radius Pharmacy is here to help you and your family with cough and cold.

For information about swine flu please visit our Flu Centre designed to help families, businesses and travelers prepare and cope with the pandemic.

The common cold is a viral infection of the nasal passages and throat. The cold virus is always changing and this season’s cold virus will probably be different to next season’s cold virus. Antibiotics do not kill viruses - they will only work if a bacterial infection is present. Your own immune system is your best weapon against cold viruses.

Your cold is more likely to get worse if your immune system is low, for instance when you may be undernourished, tired, under stress, elderly or very young. You can treat the symptoms of a cough and cold with medication, but your best protection comes from supplementation with immune boosting vitamins and minerals. Supplementation works to protect you against a virus and to help you fight a virus and to recover faster.

Our pharmacist recommends these Complete Care solutions: Chesty Cough, Dry Cough and Immunity Boost.
