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 blister packs, there are several criteria you need to meet:
Be on 7 or more medications.
Have a condition such as arthritis that can severely affect your use of original packs of medication.
Have a condition such as dementia or difficultly remembering to take medication.
If you need someone to help you take your medication e.g. carer or nurse
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, so you’ll know exactly what to take and when.
Simply register with us for our home delivery service, and request a blister pack from our pharmacist.
What’s more, you will receive a free Live Well With Diabetes welcome pack* with your first repeat prescription delivery.
