Murphy's Pharmacy on North Main Street, Cork, prepares blister packs that sort your tablets into sealed sections for each day and time, so it's easy to take the right medicines at the right time and for carers to check.
Who blister packs help
- people who find it hard to organise or remember several medicines
- people just home from hospital with a lot of new tablets
- carers and families looking after someone else's medicines
- people who are visually impaired, or on a complex medication routine
How it works
- Talk to us about your medicines. We check what is suitable for a blister pack.
- We prepare a pack with each dose sealed in a section marked with the day and time.
- Collect it from North Main Street, or we deliver it free to patients nearby.
Blister packs make it easier to take medicines as prescribed, and carers can see at a glance whether a dose has been taken.
