Each dosette contains one week of medication(s) (oral solids only) in a convenient container with individual compartments to provide up to 4 different dispensings per day.

How it Works: 

• Dosettes /Dispills are individually filled/dispensed.   A colour-coded chart is provided on the back of the dosette as a visual aid.  Completed dosettes/dispills are provided weekly. 
• A schedule for a new dispill/ dosette is established in collaboration with the patient, care giver and/or professional. 
• A Medication Record Summary (MRS) is maintained for each patient on the dosette/dispill program.  The MRS provides detailed information on all current medications and dosage intervals. 
• New prescriptions for acute conditions (eg. antibiotics or pain medication) will be dispensed in vials or on carded blister. 
• If there are changes in medication(s) or administration times, the existing dosettes will be retrieved, appropriate changes made and the new dosettes returned promptly. 

• Reduces the potential for medication(s) errors since dosage administration times are simplified.
• Establishes a regular ordering and supply of medication(s).
• Drug related problems including interactions are minimized with regular monitoring of medication records including over the counter medications.
• Medication problems are identified and efficiently managed between physician visits.
• Provides easy opportunity to monitor missed or extra doses.
• Discontinued medications are properly and efficiently destroyed to avoid errors
