At this time of year, tummy troubles such as indigestion and heartburn are common. Most of us eat and drink too much during the festive party season and the pharmacy team needs to be ready to help customers with these often painful and uncomfortable conditions. There is plenty of advice and information you can give to your customers to help them prevent and manage digestive problems.

Make sure you are well informed about these conditions and the OTC remedies that can be used to treat them. Also think about how your pharmacy displays these remedies, both in store and in the windows. We’re sure you will be creating some very effective Christmas window displays – think about how you could include products for tummy troubles.

Heartburn and indigestion are not the only digestive problems of course, and our article also looks at common bowel conditions such as constipation, diarrhoea and IBS. Those who are leading the training will find accompanying learning prompts and teaching notes here.
