Custom Pill Packaging

Why choose personalized pill packaging?

Easier to manage medications

One of the main reasons patients choose personalized pill packaging is that it makes it easier to keep track of their medications. With everything organized in one place, it's simpler to remember which pills to take and when — a major help for seniors or anyone with multiple prescriptions.

Fewer trips to the pharmacy

Personalized pill packaging can save you time and money by reducing the number of trips you have to make to the pharmacy. If your pills are packed in advance, you can pick them up all at once instead of making separate trips each time you need a refill — a real time-saver for busy families or anyone who has difficulty getting to the pharmacy regularly.

Improved medication compliance

Personalized pill packaging can also improve medication compliance — when patients take their medications as prescribed. Patients are less likely to forget to take their pills or take the wrong dose when using a pill pack, which can lead to better health outcomes and fewer doctor's visits down the road.

Compliance packaging at Optimum Pharmacy

Compliance with medication regimens is a major challenge for many patients. Medication non-adherence is a major cause of hospitalizations and other adverse health outcomes. Pharmacists can play a key role in improving patient compliance by providing education and counselling on medication use.

Medications are often dispensed in unit-dose packaging, which can be confusing for patients and can make it difficult to track medication use and identify potential errors. Compliance packaging is designed to help patients take their medication as prescribed, packaging multiple doses of a medication so patients can take their medication at the same time each day. It is not required for all medications, but it can be a useful tool for patients who have difficulty adhering to their medication regimen.

Dispill packaging

Dispill packaging is our multi-dose packaging system that makes dispensing medication easier and more efficient. The pills are packaged in individual containers, labelled with the day of the week and the time of day they should be taken — designed to keep medication organized while making it easier to track use and identify potential errors, and easier for patients to carry their medication with them when they travel.

Environment friendly

Dispill packaging also helps reduce waste, as it requires less packaging material than traditional unit-dose packaging and is easier to recycle or repurpose. It can be especially beneficial for those who take multiple medications and need to keep track of when they took their last dose and how many more doses they need — helpful if you need to take medication at different times of the day.

Compliance packaging can help patients manage their medication regimen and improve their overall health, while saving time and money for both patients and pharmacies. Patients who use compliance packaging are less likely to require emergency medical care or be hospitalized for problems related to their medication. Your pharmacist can also tell you if there are any combinations of medications you should avoid taking together.

Ask our pharmacist

Bringing a list of the medications and supplements you take to the pharmacy is a great idea — it allows the pharmacist to better advise you on any potential interactions between different medicines, supplements, and other treatments. Tell the pharmacist about any allergies or intolerances so they can check for potential problems when recommending a medication or over-the-counter product. If you are considering compliance packaging, talk to our pharmacist about the best way to get started — they can help you choose the right system for your needs and provide instructions on how to use it.
