How to Fill a Dosette Box: Best Practises for Organising Your Medications

Managing your medication is a task in itself. This is why dosette box prescriptions have become a simple yet life-saving innovation for healthcare professionals.

However, even if you use dosette boxes, keeping them organised is essential. So, here are the 5 best practices to better manage them.

1.    Choose the Right Dosette Box

Dosette boxes are made in different sizes, shapes, and colours to be more convenient. You can find one with weekly or daily divisions or even divisions for different times of the day.

When choosing, consider the frequency of your medications, size of pills, and number of doses you take and when.

For conditions like arthritis, you can opt for a box with large apartments, or if you're forgetful, choose one with an alarm.

2.    Sort Your Medications

Gather all your medications in one place so you don't forget any. It's also better to have your prescription at hand so you remember the doses and times for each.

Now, sorting medication in a dosette box is easy, but sorting refills outside is a hassle.

If you dislike refilling your dosette box, ordering 2 or more boxes is better based on how you divide your medications (daily or weekly). Filling multiple boxes together to last you the whole month is much easier, and you can easily move to the next one without filling it every week or every day.

3.    Label Your Dosette Box

Label each compartment of your dosette box with the right drug and dose before putting anything inside. They usually come with pre-made labels you can fill.

Use a permanent pen or label maker to record the names of your prescriptions and the time of day you take them. You might also want to include additional instructions, like "take with food" or "do not crush."

4.    Place Your Dosette Box Right

Once your dosette box or boxes are filled, labelled, and ready for use, store them somewhere secure and handy. Ensure to avert severe temperatures and dampness, and keep it out of the reach of youngsters and dogs.

To help you remember to take your medication on time, keep your dosette box where you can see it in plain sights, like on your nightstand or kitchen counter.

5.    Maintain Your Dosette Box

●       Refill your dosette box simultaneously every week/month to avoid missing doses.

●       Regularly check the expiration dates on your prescriptions and replace any damaged or outdated ones.
