Back-to-School Health Checklist for Kids & Teens
As the new school year approaches, it's the perfect time to stock up on essentials that support your child’s health, boost their immunity, and give you peace of mind. Whether you’re prepping your little one for their first day back or helping your teen through another exam season, our pharmacy team has curated a checklist of must-haves for a smooth and healthy return to school.
✔️ Daily Multivitamins for Growing Bodies
Kids and teens need a range of nutrients to fuel their focus, energy and growth during the school year. Our Pharma Plus Teen Active Multivitamins are specifically designed to support teen brain function, energy and immunity—ideal for busy school days and exam-time stress. For younger kids, PharmaBiotic sachets offer a gentle yet powerful blend of probiotics to help support gut and immune health.
🛡️ Immune Support to Beat the Back-to-School Bugs
New classrooms mean new germs. Boost your child's defences with Vitamin D (essential for immunity and bone health) and Omega 3 for cognitive development and inflammation support. These simple additions can make a big difference in helping kids stay well during term time.
🐛 Head Lice Prevention & Treatment
Head lice tend to spread quickly once school starts. Stay ahead with prevention sprays or be prepared with effective treatment kits—especially if your child has longer hair or plays in close-contact settings.
🧼 First-Aid & Hygiene Must-Haves
- Child-friendly hand sanitisers (perfect for lunchboxes)
- Plasters for scrapes and blisters

These small items are great to pop into school bags or keep at home for quick care when needed.
