Medication compliance is a problem many families have to deal with. Missing a dose or double dosing can happen, but consistently forgetting your medication or not following dosage instructions can be detrimental to your health. Our pharmacy is dedicated to helping our community improve their medicine routine with our medication adherence packaging. Keep reading to learn more about how it can make your life easier!
What is medication adherence packaging?
Medication adherence packaging goes by several names, including multi-dose packs and exact packs. Here at our local pharmacy, we call them Magnolia Packs! This way of packaging prescription medication eliminates the pill bottle and instead utilizes individual packs with all of your daily medicines in one dose pack. We can even divide your morning, afternoon, and evening pills! Each packet is labeled with the date, time of day, and medication dosing instructions. What’s more, you can also ask us to include vitamins, supplements, and other over-the-counter pills like allergy medication to your daily pack. Managing your medications has never been easier!
What are the benefits of medication adherence packaging?
- Less hassle– no need to submit monthly refills or deal with a messy medicine cabinet or keep track of pill organizers. All of the hard work is done for you!
- Improved compliance– patients are much less likely to skip a dose or take a double dose when using multi-dose packs since each one is labeled clearly with when to take the medication.
- Easy to use– These packets are simple for daily use and aren’t difficult to open like pill bottles can be, which is particularly useful for those with arthritic or weak hands.
- Ideal for travel– This type of packaging system is also convenient for travel. Packing medication is a breeze when all you have to do is grab your daily packs already filled with your prescriptions!
Med sync vs. med packs: what’s the difference?
While similar, medication synchronization services are slightly different than medication adherence packaging services. A med sync program simply syncs all of your prescriptions to be refilled on the same day every month, so you only have to pick them up once. Avoiding multiple trips to the pharmacy each month is certainly more convenient! Multi-dose packaging like our Magnolia Packs takes it a step further by not only syncing all of your medications but also making daily dose packs that contain all of your pills for the day.
