Better Health Starts with Smarter Choices

What is Traditional Prescription Packaging

For decades, pharmacies and healthcare facilities have relied on a familiar trio of packaging solutions that most of us recognize from our local drugstore. When you pick up a prescription, you're likely to receive your medication in one of three primary formats:

1. Pill Bottles: Small plastic containers that commonly hold loose pills or capsules.
2. Blister Packs: Thin sheet packaging with individual pockets filled with pills sealed in compartments. The pills are organized in a grid according to the medication instructions.
3. Glass Vials: Containers typically used for liquids, powders, or injectable medications.

While these traditional packaging methods have served their purpose for many years, they present several significant limitations in today's healthcare landscape.

Consider this:

You’re someone who is currently managing multiple chronic conditions. As such, you need to open several different bottles, count various pills, and remember a complex schedule of when and what to take - all while trying to avoid mistakes.

This scenario highlights several key challenges in traditional medication packaging:

Tracking and Compliance Issues

• No built-in system for monitoring medication intake
• Heavy reliance on memory or separate tracking tools
• Having a complex regimen increases the likelihood of compromising medication adherence
• Difficulty maintaining complex medication dosing schedules

Safety and Error Risks

• Potential for incorrect dose selection when managing multiple medications
• Risk of medication mix-ups due to similar-looking pills
• Challenges with manual sorting and organizing
• Increased error risk during transfer to pill organizers

Limited Flexibility and Personalization

• One-size-fits-all approach despite varying patient needs
• Inadequate solutions for different lifestyle requirements
• Lack of accommodation for visual or dexterity challenges
• No integration with modern healthcare technology
  

DosePack: The Modern Solution

If traditional medication packs laid the foundation, DosePack is the modern upgrade that redefines how medications are managed. 

Every aspect of DosePack, our multi-dose compliance medication packaging, has been carefully engineered to address the three significant challenges we discussed with traditional packaging. The pre-sorted medications, clear labeling, and intuitive design work together to create what we call the "Triple C" advantage:
