If you or your child suffer from asthma, you will know how important it is to take reliable and accurate oxygen level readings.

This week I want to introduce you to the Heal force Prince 100A. One of the reasons we love it so much is that it will give you peace of mind without the need to visit your doctor and at a reasonable price. 

We know there are many models available, however for us, the most important thing to note when searching for Oximeters is Accuracy and Reliability!

This is why if someone asks me at my pharmacy or at HealthCare4All for my opinion, this is a great finger pulse oximeter to buy and IN STOCK.

What are Pulse Oximeters?

 Pulse oximeters help you monitor the amount of oxygen carried  around your body. Its completely painless and all you have to do is attach it to a fingertip for a few moments to get a reading.

An oxygen level of greater than 95% is generally considered to be a normal oxygen level and a level of 92% or less suggests

This week I want to talk to you about Nebulisers. What they are, how they are used and which one HealthCare4All recommends!

We understand how worried people are at the moment with the spread of the coronavirus around the globe. We have them in stock as I write this blog but they are flying out. 

First of all, What is a Nebuliser?

A nebuliser is a medical device that transforms medication from liquid to a mist so it can be inhaled into the lungs more easily. Being inhaled through a mouthpiece, the dissolved drugs are able to reach affected areas directly and quickly. Nebuliser machines are an effective way of delivering certain types of medication to infants and children suffering from asthma, or anybody else who finds it difficult to use an inhaler.

As Web MD informs using nebulisers to deliver certain medication is often referred to as “breathing treatment.” Nebuliser machines are available in both table top models, typically designed for home use, and portable versions. Whilst table

As I mentioned last week, the most popular products people are contacting me about are thermometers, face masks and oximeters.

So this week I have written the blog on all three products for you.

Understandably, as people all over the world are worried about catching COVID-19, one of the main initial symptoms is having a temperature. 

As the hay fever season has now started there are loads of us who are sneezing, and coughing and are not sure if it is hay fever or coronavirus. One main difference is you DON’T get a fever with hay fever. 

Here is a quick reminder of the difference between hay fever symptoms and coronavirus 

This is probably why every time I get any stock of thermometers they sell out! Last week I managed to secure loads of beurer digital thermometers, and when I looked this morning there is only one left in stock. So you are lucky that we at Healthcare4all have managed to secure some new thermometers that arrived yesterday and have just been listed on the website! And

What are Pulse Oximeters?

 Pulse oximeters help you monitor the amount of oxygen carried  around your body. Its completely painless and all you have to do is attach it to a fingertip for a few moments to get a reading.

An oxygen level of greater than 95% is generally considered to be a normal oxygen level and a level of 92% or less suggests low blood oxygen.

In addition to oxygen level it also tells you your pulse rate. For adults a normal pulse rate is 60-80 beats per minute, however your heart rate would be expected to increase with exercise and and oxygen saturation may slightly decrease (it should still remain at 90% or greater though).

I wanted to find one that is easy to use at home for at-home patient monitoring. For people with COPD, pulse oximetry is useful as a tool for patients to use at home to assist with their management under physician guidance. Monitoring your oxygen saturation level will help you to adjust your oxygen flow at home, during exercise, and during social
