Medication Management Packs

Why Webster-pak®?

Webster-pak solutions give independence, freedom and quality of life to the patient, carer or loved ones.

Taking medication as prescribed is vital, but can be a challenge when managing medications. Missed or incorrect doses can result in health problems, falls, hospitalisation, adverse effects, even death.

Webster-pak medication systems reduce these risks. 

How does it work?

Webster-pak options set out all the tablets and capsules needed for each particular time of day, for each day, to ensure that people take the right medication at the right time.

The pharmacist at your local Star Discount Chemist provides this professional service. The pharmacist manages and dispenses your prescriptions. The medications are then dispensed into a Webster-pak blister. The pack is sealed creating a stable storage environment and prevents medications from spilling or being mixed up.

The pack clearly shows the dosage times throughout the day and lists all contents as well as other current medications. This provides vital information for medical practitioners, hospital or emergency staff as well as family, friends and carers. The Webster-pak folder has the most up-to-date list of the medicines being taken.
Every day, at the right time, you simply push the blister’s contents through the foil backing or use a Pil-Bob to pop out the pills.
