As we enter colder climates, cold sores are an unfortunate health issue that we need to deal with. lipivir® is the only product in the world that can prevent cold sores.

Most people are exposed to the virus when they're young due to close contact with someone who has a cold sore. For most, it won’t cause symptoms until you’re older. Often, you may not even know you have it until you get a cold sore. Until now, people could only shorten an existing outbreak by one to two days, but lipivir® can ensure the outbreak doesn’t happen.

Another plus of lipivir® is that its packaging is neat and small, easily fitting into any bag or pocket, so it’s handy and ready to use whenever you need it. Plus, the transparent gel makes the application discreet and you can still use lipstick, lipgloss and make-up when applied shortly after lipivir®.

Bespoke Smile

Gone are the days when cosmetic dental treatments meant a ‘fake’ smile or excessive ‘work’ and risk of damage to your teeth. With innovative and patient focussed approaches, leading cosmetic dentists now recommend a range of procedures or tweakments that can enhance what you already have—making the best of your natural smile. 

Dr Sam, the founder of Bespoke Smile, is a pioneer in smile transformations in a minimally invasive way. He uses ‘ultra-thin’ veneers that are hand-painted to create the most natural look yet. His vision is to educate the public and dentists in options to enhance a person’s smile and aid their natural facial symmetry rather than creating fake looks. 

Cosmetic dentistry should always also have a key focus on the health and function of a smile. This means that Dr Sam and his team always include considerations of oral health, bite and aesthetics while planning a smile makeover. Dr Sam says, “When a smile is beautiful, healthy, and long-lasting we find it truly impacts our patients to feel much more confident and able to take on whatever life might throw their way.” 

Alongside pioneering dentistry, Dr Sam believes customer experience is key. He has created a practice with a luxurious but welcoming feel—meaning dental appointments are a relaxing experience that will leave you feeling pampered and refreshed. When you’re able to watch Netflix while having your treatment, it makes a trip to the dentist feel much more akin to a spa visit than the dreaded dentist.

Tackle acid reflux head-on with Pyrocalm. Pyrocalm is the first branded omeprazole 20mg, available over the counter, that can provide up to 24-hour relief. Pyrocalm Control Gastro-Resistant Tablets (omeprazole) can be used for the treatment of reflux symptoms, including heartburn and acid reflux—that pesky symptom when the acid from the stomach travels up to the throat. 

During pregnancy, hormones can cause the valve at the top of the stomach to relax, which can lead to heartburn. The valve allows stomach acid to pass into the gullet and irritate the lining. Pressure on the stomach may also push contents back up the gullet. Pyrocalm is available as a two-week supply for round-the-clock relief. Simply take one tablet in the morning, swallowed whole, with a glass of water. Have confidence in heartburn control.

Omeprazole can be used during pregnancy and whilst breastfeeding. Pyrocalm Control® 20mg Gastro-Resistant Tablets. For the short-term treatment of reflux symptoms in adults. Contains 20mg Omeprazole. Always read the label. Medicines can affect the unborn baby. Always talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking any medicine in pregnancy. Find out more
