• This is the most advanced of all types of medication packaging as the packing is done by state of the art packing machines that contain canisters calibrated to specific medications.
• Sachets are packed in the order in which the medications need to be given to the residents starting at the first dose of the week and ending at the last dose for the week. They are simple and safe and medications are sorted into individually labelled sachets with easy to tear packaging.
• Each pouch is clearly labelled with resident name; Date and day of the week; Dosage time; Medication names, strengths, and quantities; and tablet descriptions.

This system is easy to use and can be used by all staff. The packs are placed in different coloured frames chosen to symbolise the time of the day i.e pink for breakfast medications, yellow for lunch medications, orange for dinner medications and blue for night medications.

Each Unit-Dose pack is also printed with a clear digital coloured photograph of the resident, residents name, date of birth, room number, and more. It also comes with the names and images of each packed medication and alert such as 'Do Not Crush'.
