Need to Manage Multi-Dose Prescriptions? Learn More About Our Adherence Packaging
At 501 Pharmacy, we are pleased to offer adherence packaging (also known as compliance packaging) to our pharmacy customers! This special packaging is an easy-to-use way to manage multi-dose prescriptions. We know that managing multi-dose prescriptions is not easy and inadequate medication adherence is a widespread problem that contributes to increased chronic disease complications and healthcare expenditures.
Our adherence packaging is designed for those who need to take multiple medications. It is great for patients who might not have close family or caretakers to help monitor and give medications. Adherence packs easily tear off and allow you to take the medication with you wherever you go. There is no need to handle multiple medicine bottles or packets ever again. Another great feature is you will be able to easily see if you have taken medication at the right time of the day. Keep reading to learn more about adherence packaging and its benefits.
What Is Adherence Packaging?
With adherence packaging, you will see the prescribed dosage, time, frequency, and direction all in one simple, visual pack—to help you be adherent to your drug regimen. Using the simple day-and-date features, calendar-based packing is designed to help maintain your physician’s prescribed dosing schedule and to make it easier for you to take the right drugs and the right time. Are you a visual learner? Some packs are even color-coded to help you quickly identify your correct dosing. For example, yellow doses for the morning, and blue for nighttime medications.
Know When to Refill
As an added bonus, our adherence packaging also lets you know when it is time to call us at 501 Pharmacy to order a refill. When patients fail to take medication as prescribed, they can end up back in the hospital or doctor’s office creating more expense for themselves as well as their insurance.
