Blister Packs: A Guide to Medication Distribution
What are Blister Packs?
Definition and Purpose: Understanding the role of blister packs in medication management.
Blister packs serve as a convenient medication distribution system designed to simplify the administration process for staff caring for residents or family members.
How Blister Packs Work
Medication Preparation: Process of preparing and dispensing medications into blister packs.
- A prescription is sent to the chemist (pharmacy).
- The chemist fills the prescription and organises doses into daily compartments.
- Each day is divided into segments (e.g., morning, lunchtime, evening, bedtime).
- Medications are placed accordingly, ensuring ease of administration.
This system helps ensure that medications are organised and ready for administration according to prescribed schedules.
