Postal prescription services who do blister packs?

Do all postal prescription services do blister packs?

My parents each take multiple medications and dad is getting increasingly slow and confused while doing their weekly pill boxes. I want to switch to a service which will do it for him so he doesn't have to. Any recommendations?

Not a blister pack in the traditional sense but have a look at Pilltime. Tablets come in individual packets that are then packed into boxes sequentially on a roll.

Recommend Pilltime 👍 easy to set up for parents & no faff!

Pill time looks great although am slightly worried they won't get the hang of opening the packs and getting started.

Plus the writing isn't very big on each pouch. Esp the name and I want it for both my mum and dad. I don't want them taking each other's tablets by mistake!

Speak to your local pharmacy for some advice. Most will offer to set up a service where they make up the weeks medication into disposable dosettes and deliver it.

I've tried this, but my mum took them all out of their packets and put them into little pots.

Oh dear. This is the kind of thing I fear my dad would do.

Currently they get their tablets delivered by a pharmacist close to where they used to live. He drives out of his way to deliver them to their new address. They get about 10 medications a month so it's relatively profitable for him to do a 15 minute round trip but I 'm not sure he'd want to do their blister pack and deliver it out of area.

So I'm looking at options and trying to weigh up if I should go to their local pharmacy or do it online.

My parents used to have their many medications delivered in dosset boxes. I think it was Pharmacy2U, but iirc the initial request to have dosset boxes had to come from their GP as there is a cost associated. Their local pharmacy frequently didn't have enough staff to do them so they'd run out of medication which was why dad stropped off to online and found them very helpful

ask your local pharmacy about a pivitol, it is designed to go off when the medication is due.pharmacy set it for thst time so they can only take wjst is due ad it dispenses them
