We’re fortunate to work with quite a few medical practices, and some of the things we’ve learned in writing their scripts we’re able to pass along to the rest of our clients and friends. As America gears up for the coming flu season, and especially the H1N1 or “swine” flu, the advice from our medical practices is practically unanimous. Whether you get a flu shot or not, and whether you get the Swine Flu vaccine or not, remember to always wash your hands after going to the bathroom, before eating, or after touching anything that just doesn’t feel clean. Cover your mouth when you cough, sneeze into the inside of your elbow. Maintain a healthy diet, get regular exercise and drink plenty of water. If you feel bad, stay home. If your kids feel bad, keep them home. Preventing the flu is the best thing you can, preventing it’s spread if you get it is the next best thing.
