ADVANTAGES OF COMPLIANCE PACKS
Compliance packaging is used for packaging prescription medications because it can be designed to make medication easier to take as prescribed, it plays a significant role in improving patient health outcomes, and thus helps to mitigate the hundreds of billions of dollars that are spent annually as a result of medication non-adherence.
These benefits of compliance packaging are relatively well-known throughout the healthcare industry. However, a medication blister pack can also deliver additional advantages that are not as often discussed. In addition to helping improve medication adherence and drive down unnecessary medical costs, blister packaging offers the following advantages:
Helps Preserve the Integrity of Pills
A transparent prescription bottle that contains pills often has what appears to be a layer of dust on the inside — a substance that is actually comprised of small particles from the pills. This happens because the pills rub together when the bottle is moved. A medication blister pack can prevent this from happening by sequestering each pill inside its own blister in the blister pack.
Easy to Transport Small Amounts of Pills
Many people buy small pill boxes to transport individual pills or a small number of pills instead of transporting their entire supply of medication but do not have medication information/ label and can cause problems when flying or other modes of transportation.
Easy to Store Pills in Discreet Locations
If you have a large bottle of pills, you may be able to store it in your medicine cabinet, but what if you need to store the medication in a discreet location to prevent children or other people from accessing it? Using a slim medication blister pack that is designed as a single-fold medication booklet gives people the flexibility they need to store the medicine in various discreet locations.
Helps Decrease Time spent picking up medications
If you receive several medications, they may get filled at different times and this can lead to multiple trips to pharmacy. The pharmacy can synchronize your medications to be filled same day each month and place in compliance packaging making one trip to the pharmacy.
