HART Health’s arsenal against cold and flu for workers

Cold and flu season is a drain on companies.

Its not just employees with flu, its everyone who catches a cold during flu season.

An alcohol-based hand sanitizer comes in handy during cold and flu season, but HART Health carries multiple products that can help keep a company’s workforce healthy during the winter months and boost the revenue of franchises that sell them.

For office staff, our BZK Antiseptic Towelettes and Alcohol Wipes are simple but effective tools against bacteria and other pathogens. Our towelettes contain benzalkonium choride, an atiseptic that’s effective against common bacteria, and both the towelettes and wipes come in convenient individual sizes to clean off a phone receiver, keyboard or screen.

The disinfectants are good for cold and flu prevention, but workers will still get sick. When a worker has a bad case of flu, or a severe cold with constant sneezing, staying home is the best option for the worker and the employer. There’s no need to risk making other employees sick.

But we all know that some employees try to tough it out and stay on the job with mild colds. HART Health offers decongestant medicines and antihistamines that can relieve their symptoms while they’re at work. Our Cetafen Cold and Cetafen Cough & Cold tablets contain the same active ingredients as Tylenol cold medicines at a much lower price: Acetominophen for reducing pain and fever and phenylephrine for reducing sinus congestion. We also sell Sudo-Tab PE, a non-drowsy nasal decongestant with phenylephrine. Both of these products come in convenient dispenser boxes and individual dose packets.

One quick note: Like all distributors of cold and flu medication, HART has had to adjust to state laws all over the United States that restrict the sale of medicine with pseudoephedrine, which unfortunately was used as a main ingredient in methamphetamine. That’s why, when you buy some cold medicines, you can buy only a limited amount at a time from behind the counter, even though they are non-prescription.

Instead, most of our cold and flu relief meds contain phenylephrine, which still does the job when you’re suffering with a cold or flu. Every distributor operates under the same restrictions, which creates uniformity and fairness. Clients that stock up on seasonal supplies quickly will appreciate the quality of HART’s products and our reliability.

A HART Health franchisee is likely the only one looking forward to cold and flu season this year. To learn more about opening your own HART Health first aid supply franchise, visit www.harthealthfranchise.com
