Blister packaging (also called dosette packs or multi-dose packaging) is a system where your pharmacist pre-sorts your medications into individual sealed compartments organized by day and time — morning, noon, evening, and bedtime. Each compartment contains exactly the medications you need for that time. This eliminates the need to manage multiple pill bottles and dramatically reduces the risk of missed or double doses. At Peel Best Pharmacy, blister packaging is complimentary for eligible patients. It is especially beneficial for seniors managing several medications, patients with memory difficulties or early dementia, caregivers managing medications for a family member, and anyone who has experienced confusion about their medication routine. Ask our pharmacists at (905) 712-0003 to set up a complimentary blister pack assessment.
