Pharmacist hacks most people never hear about 💊

Sometimes the right combination makes everyday OTC products work even better.

Here are a few simple tricks:

✔ Honey + hydrocortisone can help soothe irritated cold sores
✔ Ibuprofen + lidocaine ear drops can help calm painful earaches
✔ A small amount of iodine added to saline nasal spray may help support nasal defense during cold and flu season
✔ Hibiclens mixed with lotion can make a powerful hand-cleansing combo

Little pharmacy tricks like these can make a big difference when you know how to use them.

Save this so you have it when you need it.

Comment- “TRICKS” if you want the list + shopping list!
