Blister Packaging Medication Increases Treatment Adherence
Pharmacies are finding that dispensing medications in blister packs is helping patients adhere to complicated drug regimens, which leads to improved outcomes and decreased costs to the health-care system.
S & K Pharmacy helps patients organize multiple medications in an easy-to-follow format that gives patients visual reinforcement of what drugs to take and when to take them. The blister pack, which looks like a booklet, is perforated, so patients can remove a page after they’ve completed a day’s drug regimen.
