Advanced Health Pharmacy | Simplify Medications with Custom Pharmacy Pill Packs

Taking multiple medications can feel daunting. From remembering to take it and when, to pill bottles and refills, it's not hard to understand why non-adherence to medication is a growing issue in the healthcare system. We're shifting the script at Advanced Health Pharmacy with a new, patient-focused approach: personalized pharmacy pill packs.

These customized packs aim to simplify life for patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals alike. In this article, we will discuss pharmacy pill packs, how they operate, their benefits, and why Advanced Health Pharmacy is the go-to provider of medication management in Michigan and beyond.

What Are Pharmacy Pill Packs?

Pharmacy pill packs, also referred to as medication compliance packaging or blister packs, are pre-packaged, simple packets that group a patient's medication by time of day and dosage. They have the date and time of consumption, i.e., morning, noon, evening, or bedtime, printed on the package.

Instead of having to juggle pill bottles and a pill calendar, patients are given a 30-day supply of medications in tear-off packets, which makes it easier to follow simple daily regimens, particularly for the elderly, the chronically ill, or anyone who is juggling multiple medications.

Why Medication Adherence Matters

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that around 50% of the patients do not adhere to the prescribed medications, resulting in unwanted hospitalization, disease complications, and even death. Medication non-adherence costs the U.S. healthcare system a projected $300 billion every year.

Most of these problems can be avoided using improved support and technologies–such as pharmacy pill packs. By eliminating the hassle and confusion of the conventional medication routine, pill packs greatly facilitate compliance and minimize health hazards.

The Advanced Health Pharmacy Difference

At Advanced Health Pharmacy, we recognize that no two patients are alike. We tailor our pharmacy pill packs to the specific needs of each patient's prescription routine, lifestyle, and health status. What differentiates us is:

1. Personalized Packaging

We work together with your physician to precisely separate and package all the medicines they prescribe. If you use two or ten medicines, your package will be tailored and prominently labeled so you can use it safely and worry-free.

2. Simple and User-Friendly

Each package is marked with:

• Patient’s name

• Date and time of dose

• Names and images of the medications

This assists both memory-impaired and visually impaired patients to remain independent and able-bodied in their treatment.

3. Automatic Refills and Delivery

Don't ever miss a medication again. Advanced Health Pharmacy provides automatic refills, syncs your medications, and sends your pill packs straight to your door—in time, every month.

4. Committed Pharmacist Assistance

Our fully qualified pharmacists are happy to address any concerns, talk of possible interactions, and keep you informed every step of the way. We thrive on establishing trust and care-based, long-term relationships.

Who Benefits from Pharmacy Pill Packs?

Pharmacy pill packs aren't exclusive to the elderly. They are a useful resource for:

• Patients who have chronic diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, or cardiovascular diseases
• Caregivers administering medications to loved ones
• Patients with cognitive impairment such as dementia or Alzheimer's
• Busy professionals working, having a family, and personal wellness

In essence, anyone in need of a simpler, more secure method of medication management can opt for this service.

The Science of Medication Packaging and Adherence

There are many studies confirming the efficacy of pharmacy pill packs:

• In a 2020 American Journal of Managed Care meta-analysis, the use of adherence packaging was associated with up to a 30% increase in medication adherence levels.
• Patients who were using the adherence packaging were considerably less likely to require hospitalization, in comparison to those using standard prescription bottles, the Journal of the American Pharmacists Association reported.

These conclusions support what we have experienced directly at Advanced Health Pharmacy: improved packaging equals improved health.
