Medico Packs
If you or someone you care for takes more than one medication, keeping track of what to take and when can quickly become complicated. Missed doses and accidental double-dosing are among the most common medication errors, and both can have serious health consequences.
Stay Well Pharmacy's Medico Packs offer a straightforward solution. We package your medications into clearly labelled daily dose strips, so there's no guesswork and no missed tablets.
Medico Packs: Medication Management Made Simple
What is a Medico Pack?
A Medico Pack is a tailor-made blister pack containing all your prescribed medications, sorted by day and time of dose. Instead of managing multiple bottles and boxes, you have a single weekly or monthly pack with each dose pre-sorted and ready to go.
Each strip is labelled with the day and time, so it's immediately obvious whether a dose has been taken. If you're unsure whether you took your morning tablets, you can check the pack rather than guessing.
Who benefits from Medico Packs?
Medico Packs are particularly useful for:
People taking three or more medications at different times of day
Older adults managing complex medication regimes
People whose family members or carers help manage their medications
Anyone who travels regularly and finds multiple bottles cumbersome
People who have previously missed doses or experienced confusion about their medication schedule
Patients recovering from illness or surgery who are temporarily on additional medications
How to get started
Simply bring your prescriptions to Stay Well Pharmacy and speak to our team. We'll set up your Medico Pack and arrange a regular supply, either weekly or monthly depending on your preference.
If you have prescriptions from more than one doctor or specialist, we can co-ordinate the full picture to make sure everything is included and there are no interactions or duplications.
Mark is available to review your full medication profile and advise on any concerns, this is particularly useful if you're on a complex regime or have recently had new medications added. A medication review is available as a paid consultation.
