An important reminder, studies have shown that using Aspirin or Aspirin-containing medications to treat the symptoms of viral illnesses such as Flu increases the chance of developing Reyes syndrome. If you or a member of your family has a viral illness, do not use Aspirin or Aspirin-containing medications. Tylenol and Ibuprophen do not contain Salicylates (aspirin)and can be used as a fever reducer.
When taking any medication we recommend you check with your doctor first.

As Flu season continues it is important to take measures to protect you and your family. These include frequent hand washing, covering your cough and staying at home if you have fever. Check out the latest information from The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) on this webpage.
