Blister packed meds

Updated Jan 26, 2004 at 06:47 AM by ER Tigger Girl

It's called Medication on TIme (MOT), we use it at our camp and it's a lifesaver. The first year was difficult because the parents were SO non complient and sent meds in bottles and we had to send them back. Basicly you find a pharmacy that uses the system- it is a whole seperate system- and the RX's get sent to the pharmacy and packed into packages for morning, noon, night, hs and prn. Each individual pack has their name, the meds name and time. You just pop it out and that's it. It makes it great for trips- my camp has 400+ boys and there are TONS of meds and they are always going on trips. If you want to know more let me know- there is a lot to tell about it- the pro's and cons. I wouldn't do without it now. It makes med passing much safer and quicker.
