The summer holiday season is fast-approaching, and we’re all looking forward to some rest, travel, and festivities. For those who need to take multiple medicines every day, it can also bring a lot of stress, and confusion. During these busy months things can get intense, making it easy to mix up medications, forget doses, or lose track of what you’ve taken.
People love our Monthly Medicines Service. Our medicines adherence packing offers a practical solution for managing medications, which gives you peace of mind over the holidays. In this article we will look at how our service is perfect for the holiday season, and some tips you can use this summer.
Every summer we hear from patients about how they feel our service has lifted a weight off their shoulders. Managing multiple medicines isn’t easy during a normal week, let alone during the busy holiday season. It’s during these months when people often see just how much easier their lives are using our Monthly Medicines Service and our adherence packaging.
Here are some of the ways our Monthly Medicines Service can keep you on top of your medications so you can focus on getting the most out of the festive season.
No one wants to be juggling multiple bottles of loose pills and sheets of blister packs, especially when you’re travelling. Sachet packs make it easy to take what you need for the time you’ll be away. Instead of counting out pills, using fiddly travel cases, or just taking it all, you can easily tear off a section of sachets for the days you need.
Our sachets are packed specifically by date and the time you take them, meaning you can be confident you are taking what you need. Plus, they are lightweight and easily packable, making them significantly more convenient to travel with.
Our routines are often disrupted during the summer holidays. Between the travel days, family gatherings, and late nights it can be very easy to mix up medications or forget doses.
When you use our Monthly Medicines Service you get your medicines packed by date and time into biodegradable sachet pack rolls. You can quickly find all the critical information: date, time, name, medicines name, and pill count. This means that even if you do become unsure, you simply check your next sachet pack to know where you are at.
If you do miss a dose, the packaging gives you a clear answer, and you can now take the necessary steps to get back on schedule.
Worrying about accidentally missing doses, or even doubling up on medication doses is understandable, especially if you are on multiple medicines. Using our daily sachet packs significantly reduces the risk of these errors. Your medicines are pre-sorted by date and time into individual bio-degradable sachet packs.
This means you can focus on packing for that summer trip or looking after the grandkids knowing we’ve sorted your medicines for you already, and you can easily track what you’ve taken.
The holiday season is an extra busy time for those who care for or assist family members with their medicines. The holiday season can create stress and confusion, making it more difficult to manage medicines. Our medicines adherence service simplifies this process for patients and caregivers.
Have confidence in what you hand over as a caregiver, providing the right medicines at the right time – providing peace of mind that your loved ones are getting the correct doses, so you can spend more time enjoying your holiday.
