DOSE ADMINISTRATION AIDS (WEBSTER-PAK^®)

Having a Webster-pak^® provides a simple way to take the worry out of taking your medications. By having your regular medications packed into a weekly blister pack, you can ensure you are taking the correct dose at the right time.

A Webster-pak^® works well because:

• there is a visible reminder to take medication
• it is easy to see if medication has been taken or not
• they are sealed and secure to prevent spills/loss of medication 
• all age groups can use them
• they are convenient and portable
• it gives peace of mind for relatives and loved ones
• they reduce the amount of medicine in the home
• value for money

A Webster-pak^® is ideal for people:

• on multiple medications each day
• with complicated mediation regimens
• prone to missing or forgetting doses
• who want a simpler, more efficient way to manage their medications
• travelling and want less space taken up by medication boxes & bottles 

In the pharmacy, we divide and pack your medications into different times of the day (ie breakfast, lunch, dinner, and bedtime) for each day of the week. Our pharmacist double checks each Webster-pak^® to ensure you are taking the correct medicine at the right time.  When it comes time to take your medications, you simply open the appropriate spot in the pack and can trust you are receiving all of your medications correctly.

Next Steps

Review how many medications you are taking each day.  If you are taking three or more medications at different times of the day, a Webster-pak could help you. Come into the pharmacy and talk to one our knowledgeable pharmacists who can help arrange this for you.
