What is a Monitored Dosage System?
A Monitored Dosage System is a method of dispensing your medication so we can help you keep track of what to take and when to take it. You will receive your medication in a special tray like the one shown – it will have a number of compartments, which are very easy to open & the days of the week and time of the day labelled on them.
Who could Benefit from Blister Packs?
- Patients taking large quantities of different medication.
- Patients who find it hard to remember what to take and when to take it.
- Patients with restricted use of their hands, for example those suffering with arthritis, Parkinson’s Disease or M.S.
- Patients who have complex medicine regimes meaning they have to take different medications on different days.
- Patients who are partially sighted.
