How does a dosette box work?
Many people take two or more types of tablet every day. It can be easy to forget when to take what.
A dosette box can be really useful for managing your tablets by organising them into compartments, for different times of the day or days of the week. Load up the box at the start of the week to stay on track, and it will be easy to see if you’ve forgotten a dose.
Your pharmacist can do all of this for you. Just ask them.
They are also very useful for those with caring responsibilities, who manage other people’s medications.
Some medicines are not suitable for storage in a dosette box, so check that with your pharmacist before using one.
