5 Everyday Pharmacy Essentials You Should Always Have at Home
Share
Whether you're dealing with a surprise headache, a scraped knee, or seasonal allergies, having a few key pharmacy essentials on hand can save you time, discomfort, and even a trip to the store.
Here at Collingwood Pharmacy, we’ve put together a list of 5 everyday essentials every household should have — and now, you can order them all online at idacollingwood.ca!
1. Pain Relief Medication
From tension headaches to muscle aches, having over-the-counter pain relief like acetaminophen or ibuprofen is a must. They're also handy for reducing fever and inflammation.
Pro tip: Always check expiry dates and keep them stored in a cool, dry place.
2. Adhesive Bandages & First Aid Supplies
Minor cuts and scrapes happen more often than we think — whether it’s a paper cut or a scraped knee. Keep a small first aid kit stocked with:
- Adhesive bandages (various sizes)
- Antiseptic wipes
- Gauze and tape
- Antibiotic ointment

3. Allergy Relief
Seasonal changes can bring sniffles and sneezes. Having an antihistamine like loratadine or cetirizine on hand can provide quick relief for allergy symptoms like itchy eyes, runny nose, and sneezing.
At Collingwood Pharmacy, we carry trusted allergy relief brands — available both in-store and online.
4. Cold & Flu Remedies
Don’t wait until you’re already sick. Stock up on essentials like:
- Cough drops
- Decongestants
- Throat sprays
- Electrolyte drinks
You’ll thank yourself later during flu season!
5. Vitamins & Supplements
A daily multivitamin can support your overall health and help fill any nutritional gaps in your diet. Talk to our pharmacists for recommendations tailored to your needs — or browse our selection online.
