Monitored Dosage System
At Puri Pharmacy, we understand that managing multiple medications can be challenging, especially for patients with complex treatment regimens, elderly individuals, or those with carers. That’s why we offer a Monitored Dosage System (MDS), also known as a dosette box or a blister pack, to help ensure that medications are taken correctly and on time.
Our MDS service in Southall and Hillingdon provides patients with a simple and effective way to organise their medications, reducing the risk of missed doses or accidental overdoses.
What is a monitored dosage system?
A Monitored Dosage System (MDS), also known as a dosette box or a blister pack, is a pharmacy-prepared medication management system that separates medicines into individual compartments based on the day and time they need to be taken. This system makes it easier for patients, carers, and healthcare professionals to keep track of medication intake.
At Puri Pharmacy, our MDS service is designed to provide:
- Pre-packed weekly medication trays with clearly labelled compartments.
- Easy-to-use packaging to simplify medicine administration.
- Customised solutions tailored to individual medication schedules.
- Greater medication safety, reducing the risk of missed or duplicated doses.
Who can benefit from a monitored dosage system?
Our Monitored Dosage System is ideal for:
- Elderly patients who may struggle to remember when to take their medicines.
- Patients with chronic conditions requiring multiple daily medications.
- Individuals with cognitive impairments, such as dementia.
- Carers and family members managing a loved one’s medication.
- Patients with complex medication schedules, including different doses at different times.
If you or a loved one finds it difficult to keep track of medications, our MDS service at Puri Pharmacy in Southall and Hillingdon can provide a reliable solution.
