It is important that you take the right dose of your prescribed medicines at the right time each day to get the most from your medicines to control your condition as much as possible. This can sometimes be difficult if you take more than one medicine.
One way in which this can be made easier is for your medicines to be supplied in a Monitored Dosage System (MDS), which provides you with a separate compartment for each dosage time of the day. This might be suitable for you if you:
- find it difficult to organise your medications
- sometimes forget to take medications at the correct time each day
- have a lot of medications to take each day
- have a carer who helps to ensure you take your medicines correctly
- have difficulties in getting your medication out of the packaging
If you feel that you or someone you care for might benefit from a MDS, please arrange a chat with our pharmacist to discuss the options.
