At M W Phillips we offer a Monitored Dosage System that can help patients who take a lot of different medications at different times of day and have trouble keeping up with what they are meant to be taking and when.

What is a Monitored Dosage System?
A Monitored Dosage System is a method of dispensing your medication so we can help you keep track of what to take and when to take it. You will receive your medication in a special tray system similar to the one pictured above. This tray has a number of compartments, which are very easy to open, that have days of the week and time of the day labelled on them.

The pharmacy will fill this tray with the medication you need to in the appropriate compartments. This means you will not need to struggle with lots of tablet boxes and pushing tablets out of often hard-to-open blister packs.

Who could Benefit?
- Patients taking large quantities of different medication.
- Patients who find it hard to remember what to take and when to take it.
- Patients with restricted use of their hands, for example those suffering with arthritis, Parkinson’s Disease or M.S.
- Patients who have complex medicine regimes meaning they have to take different medications on different days.
- Patients who are partially sighted.

What Will The Pharmacy Do?
Once we have received your prescription, we will pack the medication into a Monitored Dosage System and label it appropriately. This will be supplied to you on a monthly or weekly basis or as specified by the prescriber.

We also provide pharmaceutical services to local residential and nursing homes which includes delivering Monitored Dosage Systems and giving advice on using, storing and disposing of medicines safely.

You can sign up to the M W Phillips Blister Pack Service using this form below. This service is private and not funded by the NHS, so unfortunately there is a small charge.
