Medico does not recommend pushing medication out by ‘popping’ the pills out through the backing from the front of the pack. It’s easy to lose small pills or have them drop to the floor.
If the patient is going out over the weekend or away for a few days the Perforated Pack is ideal. The patient needn’t take the whole pack. Just tear off what is needed and store in their suitcase or handbag within easy reach. There will be no excuses to forget medication!

It is usually $5 per medico pak, however it varies between people.
Depends on how often you take your medication, you might only need one pak a month, i.e. if you only take it once in the morning.
Some people might need two paks a month, i.e. if you take your medication once in the morning and once at night.
For people that takes more than twice a day, it will be better if they get one pak every week for easier medicine management. Ask us for more details in store!
