What are the benefits of a Dosette Box?

As you get older, you might find regular medication becoming a part of your everyday routine. With a dosette box to sort and store your medication, maintaining your health can remain a simple task, free from hassle. Dosette boxes offer a visual reminder to patients of what medicines they have left to take, lessening the risk of forgetting a dose or accidentally and dangerously doubling up. All compartments are safely sealed and clearly labelled.

Our dosette box collection service allows us to dispose of any unused medication responsibly while also monitoring each patient’s prescription intake. In this way, we can communicate any inconsistencies directly to the GP overseeing care, ensuring each patient is adhering to the medicine regimens prescribed by their doctors.

Dosette Box Design

The functionality of a disposable dosette box is even incorporated into the actual design, with helpful elements printed right on the box. These include:

  • Name, address, and even a photo (if required) of the individual provide reassurance and complete personalization of the pack. 
  • Photos of each tablet with the corresponding label enable identification of each item and help if changes to medication need to be made quickly. 
  • Description and dosage information help both patients and carers better recognise and understand the prescribed medication. 
  • Barcode tracking and digital data encoding incorporated into each dosette box allow for auditing throughout the entire packing process.
