Medication Management
Compliance packaging refers to a system designed to make medication management easier by organising doses into single-use packages.
This type of packaging is particularly beneficial for:
-
Individuals who take multiple medications
-
Seniors or those with chronic health conditions
-
As it helps them adhere to their prescribed regimens
-
Additionally, caregivers and healthcare providers may find compliance packaging useful in ensuring that patients take the correct dosage at the right time, reducing the risk of medication errors.
Overall, it suits anyone looking for a more streamlined and efficient way to manage their medications.
​
All of Stonechurch Pharmacy's packaging solutions are free of charge; all you have to do is ask, "What type of packaging is right for me?"
Types of Compliance packaging
We have a variety of options on how to package your medications
COMBINE ALL MEDICATIONS WITHIN A SINGLE PACKAGE
​
DISPILL simplifies the preparation, distribution and daily regimen of a patient’s medications.
​
The calendar-style blister cards make it easy to monitor medication compliance – the right dosage at the right time: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Bedtime for 7 days.
​
The advantage of Dispill cards is that you can take a certain time of the day,
For example, you're going out to dinner, no need to drag the bulky blister pack with you, only take that night's dinner medication with you.
Jones offers a wide selection of blisterpacks, such as 30-day cards, weekly cards and shown in these pictures, the 7-day bottom fold cards
​
These cards are great if you're taking a few medications or you've been given a specific regimen to follow from your Doctor.
​
Jones Cards are one of our most commonly used at Stonechurch Pharmacy because of their versatility
Meet the PacMed

Our state-of-the-art PacMed machine packs your medication into what is called the PacMed Pouch, as seen in the several images.
​
The PacMed Pouch:
-
Clearly labelled with all necessary patient and drug information
-
Customised administration times
-
Easy to open
-
Great for travel or leaves of absence
​
​The PacMed System is ideal for use in assisted-living or long-term care homes with multiple patients, where multiple caregivers administer medications.
​
The PacMed System is also a great travel aid for individual patients: We can custom-package your medications and supplements into daily or multi-day pouches. Just toss them in your suitcase, and you're ready to go!
At Home Dossets
If you're not ready to have your medications packaged by the pharmacy or if you take only a few medications, we offer durable plastic dosset containers for purchase. These containers come in various sizes and types, making it easy to manage your medications at home.
​
As a part of counselling, when you get a new medication or you have questions about medication you already take, we will always be able to tell you what time is best to take your medication.
