Copy of Dosette box preparation (MDS)
We can put your regular medicines in a special container to help you remember to take them on the right day and at the right time.These are plastic boxes with four small compartments that clearly show which pills need to be taken at what time of day.
The main benefit of a dosette box is that it helps you organise your medication and minimises the risk of you forgetting to take a dose. ... It can also be an excellent tool for family members or professional carers who are responsible for taking care of elderly patients who require daily medication
