Compliance Packaging: Making Your Medication Easy to Take
Have you taken your medication today? Taking your medications on time, exactly as they have been prescribed, can reduce extra visits to the doctor and the emergency room; cut down on diagnostic tests, additional medications and hospitalizations; and help prevent nursing-home admissions and untimely death. And yet, studies have shown that approximately half of all prescription drugs are taken incorrectly.
- Regardless of age, people can simply forget to take their drugs.
- Patients who have to take several different medications can find it difficult to remember which ones to take when, which ones to take with food or on an empty stomach, etc.
- It can be difficult to incorporate a medication regimen into an already busy lifestyle.
- Vacations, travel, or other unexpected events can disrupt medication routines.
- Patients may have trouble opening medicine bottles, or reading the directions.
Whether you’re dealing with multiple prescriptions, an on-the-go lifestyle, limited vision or other special needs, we realize that each of our patients has unique needs when it comes to taking medications properly. That’s why we offer - free of charge - a wide variety of customized ways to package your medications and nutritional supplements. If you thought prescription medications came only in bottles, think again!
