At North Harrow Pharmacy, we are committed to enhancing the health and well-being of our community by offering a range of essential services. One such service is our blister pack dispensing, designed to improve compliance and adherence to medication regimens.
What is Blister Pack Dispensing?
Blister pack dispensing, also known as dosette box dispensing, involves organising medications into blister packs. Each pack contains clearly labeled compartments for different times of the day and days of the week, ensuring that patients take the correct medication at the correct time. This system can be incredibly helpful for those managing multiple medications.
Benefits of Blister Pack Dispensing
- Enhanced Compliance: With medications organised by dose and time, patients are less likely to miss a dose or take the wrong medication.
- Ease of Use: Especially beneficial for those with conditions like arthritis or dementia, blister packs simplify the process of taking medication.
- Caregiver Support: Blister packs make it easier for carers and nurses to assist patients with their medication, ensuring accuracy and consistency.

To ensure that our blister pack dispensing service reaches those who need it most, we have set the following eligibility criteria:
