Medications, supplements and vitamins are a common part of life, especially as we get older, helping us maintain our health and wellness. Over time it becomes a daily ritual of increasing complexity as more medications are introduced, often with serious consequences if we them mix up, forget or mistime taking them. For some of us, this is a real worry.
When we have medications that need to be taken in the morning and others that need to be taken with food and still more that need to be taken an hour or so after food, it becomes quite the juggling act!
Fit daily supplements and vitamins into that regime as well and it is no wonder, we begin to lose track and find that managing daily medications can become a struggle and a source of stress.
For medications to achieve their intended purpose and effectively address specific health issues, it is crucial to take them consistently and as prescribed. This will ensure that you can get the best results to ensure good health, so you can keep on doing the things you love.
As we age, there may come a time when safe medication management starts to become overwhelming. But wouldn’t it be nice if we didn’t have to worry about remembering when to take our medications or to rely on others, and we had an easy way to manage our medications with confidence?
One of the easiest ways to stay on track with your health is through the convenience of a dose administration aid (DAA), which is a device or packing system that organises your doses of medications according to time of administration, also known as a personalised medication pack. This makes taking your medications safe and easy.
Pharmacists can create personalised medication packs to make taking your medication safe and easy. In fact, free services such as My Aspect Health can help organise and deliver all your medications and vitamins together in easy-to-use packs. You simply pay for the medications and vitamins you’re taking, and they will take care of the rest.
My Aspect Health’s Brisbane-based team of pharmacists will dispense and package your medications along with your vitamins and have them delivered straight to your door every month, in an easy-to-handle box.
They also manage your prescription repeats and notify you when you need a new prescription, so you’ll never be caught short without your medications. And should you have any questions or concerns about your medication, My Aspect Health’s pharmacists are just a phone call away.
Need other items delivered at the same time? Just ask your My Aspect health pharmacist to add to your order.
Inside the box, you’ll find a roll of tear-and-take sachets, each one clearly labelled with your daily medications and vitamins. The sachets are clearly labelled with the day, date, and time you need to take them, making sure your medication routine is both organised and easy to follow.
With the added convenience of free delivery, you won’t have to worry about those frequent visits to the pharmacy or sorting your prescriptions.
With your personalised sachets, you can travel with confidence knowing that your medications and vitamins are conveniently packed, organised, and easily accessible.
Whether you’re out and about on a day tour or cruising to your next port, simply tear off the labelled sachets for the days or times that you are away and leave the rest at home. It’s almost like having your personal pharmacy on the go.
By managing your medication this way, it is clear and easy to see ahead of time that you have the required doses for when you are away from home.
