Making Medication Management Easier
Medication organization is an important part of maintaining a consistent medication routine.

This can be especially useful when several medications are taken throughout the day.
Special Packaging and Prescription Refills
Keeping prescriptions current is an important part of medication management.
Patients may also use services such as Auto RX Refills for eligible recurring prescriptions. Automatic refill requests and special packaging are separate services, but they can work together as part of a more organized prescription routine when appropriate.
Your pharmacy team can explain how these services may apply to your medications.
A Convenient Option for Caregivers
Medication organization can also be important for family members or caregivers who assist another person with their prescriptions.
Special packaging may provide an easier way to identify medications according to the prescribed schedule.
Caregivers should always follow the medication instructions provided by the patient’s healthcare professional and pharmacist.
