KUALA LUMPUR, October 26 – With heavy rainfall and thunderstorms forecasted across several states in Malaysia, Alpro Pharmacy is urging communities in flood-prone areas to take health precautions during this challenging time. States like Perlis, Kedah, Penang, and Kelantan are at high risk of flooding, and Alpro is stepping up to provide vital health support through its Life-saving Medication Care Programme. Under this initiative, flood victims can receive a one-time supply of chronic medications for up to seven days for free, ensuring continuous care during emergencies.
Alpro Pharmacy also advises the public to prepare in advance by assembling disaster supplies, including medications, in waterproof bags. Additionally, the pharmacy encourages dengue vaccinations, as the monsoon season significantly increases mosquito-borne diseases. Post-flood recovery tips include watching for symptoms of diseases like Leptospirosis and Cholera, and seeking medical care for any signs of infection. With over 300 outlets and a dedicated e-pharmacy hotline, Alpro is ready to assist communities with health consultations and support during the flood season.
