Health Products to Manage Everyday Conditions 

Feel prepared for any situation with household health products. Our range of OTC medicines and wellness essentials helps you manage everyday conditions, such as colds, allergies, headaches and digestive problems, to keep your family comfortable. 

OTC Medicine for Everyday Relief 

Even if you're extremely careful, you'll likely get the occasional cold or muscle ache. While these everyday conditions are easy to manage without any health products, OTC medicines, such as decongestants, may help ease symptoms and get you back to normal sooner. 

Some household medicines are practically essentials, as having them on hand helps avoid disruptions to work, hobbies and social events. You don't need a whole cupboard full of products, but it's smart to keep pain relievers, cold and flu medicines and an antacid on hand. That way, when illnesses or injuries occur, you won't need to leave the house for medicine and can focus on rest and recovery instead. 

Health and Wellness Products 

Good health and medicine go hand-in-hand. Whether you're trying to quit smoking or struggling to sleep, the right products can help make these challenges more manageable. 

Every household can also benefit from having a first aid kit that contains health essentials, such as bandages, antiseptics and sterile gauze. Add a few ointments for poison ivy, burns or insect bites, and you can handle most minor injuries. 

However, not every condition is visible. For those that aren't, look to home test kits. These allow you to check your cholesterol or screen for common conditions, such as thyroid disease or food sensitivities, in the comfort of your own home. See your doctor for further tests to confirm the diagnosis. 

Essential Fall Allergy Relief

As ragweed and fall pollen season approaches, stock up on essential fall allergy products such as:

• Zyrtec, Claritin and other antihistamines to help relieve general allergy symptoms such as runny nose, itchy or watery eyes and sneezing

• Flonase and other nasal sprays that help relieve congestion

• Allergy medicine for kids to help reduce symptoms for children who aren't old enough to use general allergy products

Products for Fall Allergies

Stocking up on the products that are most likely to address your individual allergy needs helps you enjoy fall, whether you're planning to spend the day at a pumpkin patch or to enjoy drives and hikes to see changing leaves. Ragweed, mold and tree pollen are common fall allergy irritants, and a well-stocked medicine cabinet helps you fight back.

Ensure you have non drowsy medication formulas so you can treat your symptoms without worrying about a negative impact on work or other performance. Consider options that help treat certain symptoms, such as allergy eye drops to address itchy, water or red eyes or decongestants to help with stuffy noses that might come with reactions to allergens in the air.
