Blister Packs NHS in Airdrie and Auchinleck
What Are Blister Packs?
Blister packs, also known as Monitored Dosage Systems (MDS), are pre-packed trays that organise your medication into individual doses. Each compartment is clearly labelled with the day and time the medicine should be taken. At CarePoint Pharmacy, we offer this NHS service to eligible patients in Airdrie and Auchinleck who require support with managing their medication safely.
Blister packs help reduce the risk of missed or double doses, particularly for those on multiple medications, carers supporting others, or individuals with memory concerns.
Who Might Need a Blister Pack?
You may benefit from an MDS if:
- You take several medicines at different times of the day
- You find it difficult to remember whether you’ve taken your dose
- You are supported by a carer or family member
- You have a health condition that affects memory or routine
Not all patients will require a blister pack. Our team will assess your needs and discuss this option with your GP if necessary.
