Using Blister Pack Medication at Home to Simplify Medication Management

Taking one or two medications once or twice a day doesn’t present much difficulty for most people. However, when a patient takes multiple medications on different dosing schedules, keeping track of what medicine to take and when to take it can be challenging, especially when the patient has a busy lifestyle in which medication management isn’t the first thing on his or her mind come morning, noon, or night.

For these patients, as well as patients who have memory problems that keep them from remembering how and when to dose medications, using blister pack medication at home supports good health outcomes by helping to ensure that medicine is taken on the right day, in the right amount, at the right time. In addition to making medication management more organized, our Multi Medication Home Care Kit offers the following benefits that promote proper dosing of essential medication.

Color Coding for Time of Day

Our blister pack medication at home solutions are available with color coding options that identify times of day at which specific medications must be taken. For example, you can dispense medicine in blister packs that contain horizontal color coding for dosing times — morning, noon, evening, bedtime — seven days a week. The pack makes it obvious when medicine should be taken.

Foil Backing for Easy Removal

We can also supply you with blister packs that have easy-to-remove foil backing that simplifies dosing by making pills easy to remove from the blister sheet. This feature is especially helpful for patients who suffer minor motor impairment in the hands (e.g. early stage arthritis), and thus have difficulty removing pills from conventional medication vials.

Left Panel With Room for Notes

Our blister pack medication at-home solutions also provide the option of dispensing the blister pack in booklet form, with the left side of the opened package featuring lined and segmented sections for recording notes. Patients who can achieve medication compliance on their own may not need the left panel, but the space is helpful for caretakers who dispense medication, as it allows them to record medication-related notes to present to the patient’s physician.

Easy to Replenish Blister Pack

This is a good option for patients who demonstrate a high degree of competency when using blister pack medication at home. The option is also helpful for caretakers who are responsible for replenishing the package with weekly medication.

Replenishing the blister pack is easy. Just take the following steps:

  • Step 1

    Place the blister card in a filling tray

  • Step 2

    Fill blisters with medicine from prescription vials

  • Step 3

    Peel away the liner paper to reveal the pressure sensitive adhesive

  • Step 4

    Fold over the foil-backed left side of the medication booklet

  • Step 5

    Apply pressure with a roller to seal blisters

  • Step 6

    Finally, remove the sealed card from the tray and fold it into booklet form
