Pill boxes can be a helpful to track of your medications.

People who take several medications can benefit greatly from a pill box. Pill boxes are an easy, streamlined way to organise and keep track of multiple medications. They also serve as visual reminders to take your medications and reduce the risk of medication mismanagement.

There are many different types of pill boxes, the most common being plastic trays separated into compartments labelled with the day of the week. Some are further divided by the time of day. These types of boxes are easy to open, see, and use for most patients.

However, these still require some attention to detail. You need to refill the boxes each week and remember to order your prescription refills before you run out. For some patients, this is too difficult for them to manage on their own. This is where dosette boxes come in!

What is a Dosette Box?

Prepared by specialist pharmacists like those at Pharmacy to My Door, dosette boxes take all the guesswork out of medications. Our dosette boxes come prepackaged with all your medications and each dose is clearly labelled. They also come with information about your medications, like the dosage, what they are used for, and when they should be taken.

Many of our patients love this feature because it makes them feel more informed and involved in their healthcare. It’s one of the reasons we are the most popular dosette box pharmacy in Chipping Campden and Bloxham.

Other benefits of a dosette box include:

• Removing the risk of medication error
• Providing the correct dosages
• Helping carers and family members help their loved ones with their medications
• Not having to worry about running out of medications

For added security, each box has the patient’s name and address printed on them. You can also have a photo of the patient added on if they are a care home resident and you want to ensure the medications get to the right person.
