For the cardiac patient, hypertensive or diabetic patient, periodic monitoring of this important measurement is fundamental for the maintenance of a good standard of health.
When food and lifestyle guidelines fail to maintain the blood pressure within normal values, then there are numerous effective medicines available which allow blood pressure to be brought back within the normal range.

It has been proved that breastfeeding is beneficial to the future health of the newborn and it is the natural method of infant nutrition. The subject of nutrition is a very important one, starting from the earliest days of life and breastfeeding; this should be encouraged. The pharmacist can give important information to the new mother who often - during this period - goes to the pharmacy both to shop and for advice. Nursing mothers should be able to go anywhere and breastfeed their babies whenever necessary. The World Health Organization and UNICEF recommend the creation of welcoming environments to encourage breastfeeding. Since 2013, the Brescia ASL (Local Health Authority) has been developing a way to introduce some of this initiative's proposals, with the help of the Pharmacy Association, Federfarma and local governments. The Community Pharmacy supports this project and wants to become a point of reference for breastfeeding mothers; our primary objective is to make mothers welcome, listen to them and offer support, so that they continue to breastfeed. Here they will find a small dedicated space in which mothers wishing to breastfeed will feel welcome. We support mums and new parents and encourage this healthy practice - our Community Pharmacy represents a reference point for advice on child health. The Community Pharmacy pays particular attention to nutrition in early childhood, including both weaning and a child's correct nutrition during the first three years of life, by helping parents with this process.

The service is performed with equipment which complies with the regulations and according to the charges set out in the pharmacy.
Being able to carry out the diagnostic self-test within minutes from a capillary blood sample, directly in the pharmacy, and thus knowing the current values ​of blood sugar and the lipid profile is an important health benefit.

Cholesterol is a molecule which is produced by the body itself and has several important functions: it modulates the fluidity of cell membranes, is a precursor of certain hormonal substances and vitamin D and it contributes to the composition of bile.
However, higher values ​​may predispose to major diseases primarily those affecting the heart and circulatory system.
It should also be emphasized that, in order to better define the cardiovascular risk, it is important to know its composition as well as the total amount of cholesterol; how much of it is HDL cholesterol, commonly known as "good cholesterol" and how much LDL cholesterol or "bad cholesterol".
Triglycerides are a form of fat found in the blood which come partly from food but are in part created within the body itself, where they function as an energy reserve.
