At East Craigs Pharmacy, we understand how challenging it can be to manage multiple medications, especially if you or a loved one takes a variety of prescriptions daily. Missing doses, taking medications at the wrong time, or feeling overwhelmed by confusing schedules can lead to health risks and stress. That’s why we’re proud to offer our Community Dosage System, a reliable and convenient way to simplify your medication routine with the use of a dosette box.
What is a Dosette Box?
A dosette box is a simple yet effective tool for organising your medications. It’s a specially designed container that divides your prescribed doses into individual compartments based on the time of day and the day of the week. This clear and efficient system helps you easily track and take your medications at the correct times, reducing the likelihood of missed doses or errors.
Our dosette boxes are prepared by trained pharmacy staff who carefully package your medications according to your prescription. This ensures you always have access to neatly organised medications, giving you peace of mind in your health management.
How Our Community Dosage System Works
At East Craigs Pharmacy, our Community Dosage System is designed to provide you with a hassle-free solution for medication management:
Consultation
We begin by reviewing your prescriptions and medical requirements. Our pharmacists will discuss your current medication schedule and identify if a dosette box is suitable for your needs.
Custom Packaging
Once enrolled, our team organises your prescribed medications into a weekly dosette box. Each compartment is clearly labelled with the day and time the medication should be taken, making it easy to follow your schedule.
Ongoing Support
Our service doesn’t stop at packaging. We’re here to support you every step of the way, ensuring your medication remains up to date. If your prescriptions change, we’ll adjust your order accordingly to reflect your new plan.
Convenient Collection
Your prescriptions will be ready for collection at the pharmacy, or we can enrol you onto our convenient 24/7 collection scheme. This flexibility ensures you can access your medications in the way that suits you best.
Support for Care Homes
We also support medication for care home users, giving carers and families peace of mind knowing that their loved ones are getting the medication they need.
Benefits of Using a Dosette Box
Our Community Dosage System brings several advantages to your health management:
Reduces Errors: With each dose pre-sorted and labelled, there’s less risk of taking the wrong medication or forgetting a dose.
Improves Adherence: A dosette box helps you stay on track with your treatment plan, which is essential for managing chronic conditions or complex medication regimens.
Simplifies Medication Management: Instead of handling multiple pill bottles, you have all your medications neatly organised in one place.
Supports Carers: If you’re a carer for a loved one, a dosette box provides clarity and reassurance, making it easier to manage their medications effectively.
Offers Peace of Mind: Knowing your medications are organised and accessible helps reduce stress and allows you to focus on other aspects of your health.
Who Can Benefit from Our Community Dosage System?
This service is ideal for:
Individuals with Multiple Medications: If you take several prescriptions daily, pre-organising your medication ensures they’re managed accurately.
Elderly Patients: For older adults, managing medication schedules can be challenging. This service simplifies the process and supports independence.
Carers and Family Members: A dosette box provides carers with an organised system to administer medications confidently.
People with Memory Issues: Forgetting doses can have serious health implications, but our dosage system helps keep everything on track.
