Rose Hill Lane would like to share a helpful tip to keep you on track with your medications.
Blister packs can help ensure an accurate dosage and timing for you. The medications are
packaged in a calendar format with days of the week and times to cue yourself or your
loved one.

A study conducted by the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) found that an
estimated 1.3 million Americans are injured by medication errors annually. The study also
found that medication errors related to those with diabetes have risen by 300% in recent
years.

Instead of having multiple pill bottles, each dose is conveniently placed together so there’s
no worry about getting mixed up. Studies show that having this visual reminder of dose
history counteracts patient forgetfulness and keeps them on track with their medication.
Often times, your local pharmacy will provide a blister pack service free of charge. Call your
local pharmacy today to see if you can have your medications blister packed!
