Thank you for asking about blister packaging.
Hi {{contact.first_name}},
Thank you for asking Merrett's Pharmacy and Group Health Centre Pharmacy about blister packaging. A pharmacy team member calls back during pharmacy hours to talk it through. There is no obligation.
What a blister pack is
A blister pack holds a complete week's supply of medication, sorted into four daily doses. Each dose sits in its own sealed cup, and each cup carries a colour picture of the medication inside. Labels are colour-coded for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Bedtime, so the day and time read at a glance.
The cups are perforated. One dose, or one full day, tears away for a day out, and the rest of the week stays sorted at home.
The pharmacy packs it with an automated system, which the pharmacy says virtually eliminates human handling of medications. Merrett's describes itself as the only automated blister packing service in Northern Ontario.
What happens next
| 1 |
A pharmacy team member calls, answers questions and confirms which prescriptions the pack will hold. |
| 2 |
The pharmacy collects the prescriptions. Prescriptions held at another pharmacy can be transferred, and the team arranges that. |
| 3 |
The pharmacy sorts and packs the week. Pick up at 314 Wellington St W or 240 McNabb St, or have it delivered free in Sault Ste. Marie. |
Have a question before the call? The page below shows how the pack works, and both pharmacies answer the phone during their hours.
Or call Merrett's Pharmacy at 705-945-8465 or Group Health Centre Pharmacy at 705-759-5578.
