Remove the Stress From Medication Management
Are you or someone you support having trouble staying on top of medications?
Whether it’s balancing multiple prescriptions or keeping up with strict medication schedules, it’s not always easy to take the right medications at the right time.
Staying on track with your prescriptions – also known as medication adherence – is essential to keeping healthy and well. Blister packs from your pharmacist can help.
Introducing the Blister Pack: A Proven Tool for Better Medication Management
The blister pack, also known as medication adherence or compliance packaging, has individually sealed compartments organized by time of day and day of the week that hold all of the patient’s medications. They're like calendars that organize medications.
Provided by your pharmacy, blister packs have been shown to improve adherence rates from 61% up to 97%. They’re especially effective for those taking many medications at different times.

Why Blister Packs Are Better
Improved Safety
Blister packs are filled by pharmacy teams and verified by a pharmacist before they're dispensed to patients – a better, safer solution compared to filling plastic pill organizers for yourself or those under your care.
No More Guesswork
Not only can you find every medication needed in one convenient package, but you can also more easily keep track of what pills have already been taken – a more organized and simple solution instead of searching through multiple prescription vials and counting pills.
Saves you time
You can pick up all prescriptions for the coming weeks at once in a blister pack, saving multiple trips to the pharmacy – a more efficient way to stay on track for everyone.
What Patients & Caregivers Say
““Having a much less complicated way for my mother to take her medications has lessened everyone’s anxiety. Even when I can’t be there, especially during COVID,
I know that she is able to take care of her health. We all felt like we had some peace of mind again.”
”
““Now I take my medications perfectly organized by my pharmacist, inside [blister packs]. It’s like a pillbox, but much more professional in every way.
This system helps me a lot because it serves as a reminder not to forget to take my medication. I just have to find the correct day and dose, as they have taught me in the pharmacy, to have the peace of mind of knowing that I am taking the right medicines, at the right time.”
”
““One of the first things the paramedics would ask us was what medications [my father] was taking. I was able to provide them with the blister card where his medications and the doses were listed. All the current information was there at our fingertips and saved precious time in a crisis situation.”
”
