Multi-dose Webster-pak
Our Multi-dose Webster-paks provide medication packed in a sealed weekly calendar blister pack, clearly labelled with the resident’s name, photo of the resident, room number and a full description of the medications packed. We can also customise the administration times to help your staff accurately administer medications to each individual resident. As well as packing regular medications in a multi-dose pack, we also provide colour-coded Webster-paks for short-term orders, such as antibiotics, schedule 8 drugs (drugs of addiction) and drugs that may require special care, such as warfarin and cytotoxics. (insert a photo of a Multi-Pak).
Unit-dose Webster-pak
Our Unit-dose Webster-paks are similar to the Multi-dose Webster-paks, however in this instance each Webster-pak contains a single medication, usually representing a one month supply in each sealed pack. This Unit-dose Webster-pak system does make changes to medication therapy a lot easier, as individual paks can be added or discarded depending on the changes made by the prescribing doctor Various colour-coded packs are also provided for short-term orders, such as antibiotics, schedule 8 drugs (drugs of addiction) and drugs that may require special care, such as warfarin and cytotoxics.

Medico-Paks
These are a disposable packing system, similar to the Multi-dose Webster-Paks.
Original Manufacturer pack dispensing
This may be an option for some Residential Care facilities, where we dispense and supply all the residents medications in their original manufacturer pack, and labelled by the pharmacy with the appropriate prescribed directions. This system is probably more suited where the medication is dosed to the resident by registered nurses.
