Blister packs dispensed & delivered to your door for free
When you’re on a lot of different medicines, having them dispensed into a blister pack (sometimes called a dosette box) can be really useful, and this is something we can do for you.
To be eligible to receive FREE blister packs, there are several criteria you need to meet:
Be on 7 or more medications..
Be 80+ years of age.
Have dementia.
If you meet all of the above criteria, we can often help by dispensing your medication into these convenient packs for you, free of charge. This is a popular service and we made need to add you to our waiting list.
If you would like to receive blister packs but don’t meet these criteria, there is a small dispensing and packing fee of £9.95 per month.
