Health Canada has approved numerous hand sanitizers and disinfectants that effectively eliminate viruses and bacteria. Look for products containing at least 60% alcohol content for optimal effectiveness. Many Canadian pharmacies stock both gel and liquid formulations from trusted brands, ensuring you have access to reliable sanitization options for home, work, and travel.
Various protective equipment options are available across Canada, including:
Canadian pharmacies offer immune-supporting supplements including Vitamin D, Vitamin C, zinc, and elderberry. These supplements may help maintain overall immune system health when combined with a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. Consult with healthcare professionals before starting any new supplement regimen.
Health Canada has authorized several rapid antigen tests for home use, providing Canadians with convenient testing options. These tests detect viral proteins and deliver results within 15-20 minutes. Popular brands include Abbott Panbio, BTNX Rapid Response, and BD Veritor, all available through Canadian pharmacies and healthcare retailers.
Proper test administration is crucial for accurate results:
Consider professional testing when experiencing severe symptoms, requiring official documentation for travel or work, or when home test results are unclear. Healthcare providers can offer PCR testing with laboratory confirmation and provide appropriate medical guidance based on your specific circumstances and health needs.
Managing COVID-19 symptoms at home is crucial for recovery and comfort. Over-the-counter medications can provide significant relief for common symptoms experienced during infection.
Acetaminophen and ibuprofen are effective options for reducing fever and managing body aches associated with COVID-19. These medications help maintain comfort while your body fights the infection and are readily available without prescription.
For persistent coughs and throat irritation, consider using:
Electrolyte replacement solutions help maintain proper hydration, especially important if experiencing fever or reduced appetite. Rest support products, including comfortable positioning aids and humidifiers, can enhance recovery by improving sleep quality and breathing comfort during illness.
Several prescription treatments are available in Canada for COVID-19, particularly for individuals at higher risk of severe illness. These medications require proper medical supervision and consultation with healthcare providers.
Paxlovid (nirmatrelvir-ritonavir) is the primary antiviral treatment approved by Health Canada for COVID-19. This medication is most effective when started within five days of symptom onset and can significantly reduce the risk of hospitalization in eligible patients.
Obtaining prescription COVID-19 treatments requires:
Most provincial health insurance plans and private insurance providers cover approved COVID-19 treatments. Patients should verify coverage details and potential contraindications with their healthcare provider before starting treatment to ensure safe and effective use.
