PillPack. This new company sells drugs for no more than
conventional pharmacies (they say) and they mail them to your house. Unlike pill bottles, they come with each pill (or sets of pills) you want to
take put in a shrink pack, by dose, with the time of day and date printed
on it. Watch the video on the
website.
I think this is a revolution
that is long overdue. Many people have
multiple pills to take and at different times of the day. This packaging system groups them by time and
date, so older people (or just anyone) can figure what pills they have taken,
and what’s next. Surprised no one thought
of this before.
They even put
non-prescription pills, like vitamins, and supplements, in the pouches for you,
and I especially like the fact that they print the names and doses of each item
in the pouch right on the bag. Suppose you
are not home at the time of day for the pill?
These sanitary packs fit in your pocket or purse much easier than
conventional pill-organizers.
And since the pricing is the
same as drug stores; this should be a winner.
PS -- wouldn't even hospitals and nursing homes love it coming in this type of packaging as well ?
