Frequently Asked Questions About Our Med box Program
What is a med box?
A medication box (med box or pill minder) helps you
stay organized and remember to take your pills. It is a box with separate compartments
for each time of the day you take medications. One med box holds one week’s worth
of pills. Many people buy these and fill them at home. As part of the Tulalip Clinical
Pharmacy’s med box program, we set you up with a med box for your meds, and fill it
for you. Each med box is labeled with a list of the medications that are in each
compartment.
How does the Tulalip Clinical Pharmacy’s med box
program work?
The staff at the Tulalip Clinical Pharmacy fills
a med box for you once a week. You may pick it up weekly at the Pharmacy. If this
does not work well for you, ask if you qualify for our delivery program.
Why weekly?
Once a week allows us to keep your medications current
with any changes.
What is compliance packaging?
Compliance packaging, also referred to as adherence packaging, are ways to organize and arrange patient’s medications based on prescribed directions and frequencies. Blister packing is one of the most popular compliance packaging formats which arranged doses into blisters based on the prescribed administration schedule. In addition, blister cards include important information such as date, time, drug names, imprint, pill color, dosage etc. to ensure accurate and timely administration.
