Older patients and people taking multiple medications are set to benefit from better packaging of their medicines by pharmacists.
The Commonwealth Government has provided up to $72.9 million to the Pharmacy Guild of Australia through the Fourth Pharmacy Agreement for the Dose Administration Aids program.
The program provides support to community pharmacists to help patients manage their medication by packaging it into individual doses that are arranged according to the dose schedule throughout the day. The packaging can be either a unit-dose pack (one single type of medication per compartment) or a multi-dose pack (different types of medication per compartment).
