Prairie Stone pharmacy launches daily drug packaging

To prevent patients from taking prescription medications, Prairie Stone pharmacy in the United States has innovatively launched the "DailyMed" packaging program, which pre-categorizes prescription drug non-prescription drugs and vitamins used by customers into easy-to-use single-dose packages. At present, the packaging plan is applying for a patent.

For most diseases, prescription drugs are still the most cost-effective treatment for improving the quality of life of patients. Americans, especially the elderly, take a lot of prescription drugs every day, but many people can't figure out the timing of each drug. According to reports, in the United States last year, 125,000 people died because they did not follow the doctor's orders. Marvin Richardson, president of Prairie Stone pharmacy, pointed out that "daily use of drugs" is to solve the problem of patient medication compliance. The method is cheap, simple, and effective. It is only necessary to preload patient doses in a single dose. It is no longer necessary. Pills and pill dispensers that are confusing.

According to Richardson, Americans aged 65-69 average about 14 different prescription drugs each year, while Americans aged 80-84 average about 18 prescription drugs each year. The statistics of the American Patient Information Committee show that the number of annual prescription drug per capita in the United States in 2010 will reach 38.5.

The "Daily Use" program is not only convenient for patients to take the drug, pharmacists at Prairie Stone pharmacy will also review all medication prescriptions for patients, promptly discover drug interactions or repeat medications, and recommend cheap alternative drugs.

Nathan Synder is the direct beneficiary of the "Daily Drugs" program. His grandparents need to take 17 drugs, including over-the-counter drugs and vitamins. However, Nathan found that the health of the elderly was growing. Fortunately, he soon realized that the elderly did not take all the drugs.

“I understand what I have to do. Grandparents want to open eight or nine different medicine bottles every day. Some pills must be taken at the same time. Some are taken while eating. Some medicines are taken one hour after serving other medicines.” Sen pointed out, “I don’t know what time they should take medicines. No wonder they don’t know for themselves. With the “Daily Drugs,” all drugs are pre-classified and we don’t need to guess about drugs. The old people can take medication correctly. I was relieved."
