Medication Packs

Medication packs provide a simple way to take the worry out of medications. By having your regular medications packed into a weekly blister pack you can ensure you are getting the right dose at the right time.

Medication packing works well because:

• there is a visible reminder to take medication
• it is easy to see if medication has been taken or notüthey are sealed and secure to prevent spills
• all age groups can use themüthey are convenient and portableüit gives peace of mind for relatives and loved ones
• they reduce the amount of medicine in the homeüit is value for money
   

A medication pack is ideal for people:

• on multiple  medications each day
• with complicated mediation regimens
• prone to missing or forgetting doses
• who want a simpler, more efficient  way to manage their medications
   

In the pharmacy we divide and pack your medications into different times of the day (ie breakfast, lunch, dinner, and bedtime) for each day of the week. Our pharmacist double checks each medication pack to ensure your are having the right medicine at the right time.  When it comes time to take your medications you simply open the appropriate spot in the pack and can trust you are getting all your medications correctly.

Next Steps

Review how many medications you are taking each day.  If you are taking three or more medications at different times of the day a medication pack could help you.  So come into the pharmacy and talk to one our pharmacists.

If you are caring for a loved one and you are concerned about the medicine they are taking please come in and discuss how a medication pack could help them.  We can mange their prescriptions and all their medicine and each week they will have a  weekly medication pack that will ensure they take the right medicine at the right time.

If you are still unsure please co me into the pharmacy and let one of our pharmacists explain more about how a medication pack could help you to manage your medication every day.
