If you’re on multiple medications, it can be difficult keeping track of what to take and when. Fortunately, there’s an easy way to avoid confusion and reduce the chance of error.

Life can get complicated if you’re on multiple medications that need to be taken at different times of the day. It’s easy to forget a dose or even overdose on one of your medicines. The chance of error can increase if you’re travelling, working too hard, or had your usual routine disrupted. It’s a simple fact of life – medication errors can, and do, happen.

BETTER MEDICINE MANAGEMENT
If you’re worried about your medicine management, there’s a simple and convenient way to lighten the load. It’s called the Medico Pak.
The Medico Pak arranges all your daily medicines into pre-packed,
ready-to-take doses.

Each dose is clearly marked with the day and time it should be taken, which means there’s less chance of mixing your ‘breakfast’ medicines with your ‘lunchtime’ medicines.

LET YOUR PHARMACIST DO THE WORK
The Medico Pak is packed by your pharmacist, which means the hassle of organising your daily doses is taken off your hands. A small charge may apply for this service.

You’ll no longer have to sort through several medicine bottles to take your daily medication.

With the Medico Pak, all the right pills and capsules are already sealed
into handy tear-off doses.


KEY BENEFITS OF THE MEDICO PAK

• You can see at a glance if you’ve taken your medicine

• Clear instructions, so there’s no confusion
