Webstercare Blister Pack Medication System

An accurate and efficient way to package and dispense medication in tablet form has been developed by Manrex Pty Ltd. Their Webstercare products are designed to make it easy for clients to take their medication by eliminating the confusion when multiple drugs are prescribed. This helps to assist client medication compliance.

The multi-dose Webster-pak™ is an individually-prepared blister pack which is filled by the pharmacy. It is divided into 28 separate blister wells in four rows of seven, being the doses to be taken at breakfast, lunch, dinner and bedtime on each day of the week. Into each well is loaded the medication prescribed for that time. The client can quickly identify which dose is next, remove the tablets by pushing them through the foil on the reverse side of the blister pack, and take them without worrying about quantities or mistakes.

This simple procedure has the potential to improve compliance significantly. The clear blister packs also act as a visual reminder of which medication is to be taken next and when. Using a special computer program and printer, the pharmacist notes on the pack the names and quantities of the tablets sealed in the blister wells. Up to seven tablets can be contained in each compartment.

Webster-pak™ is used extensively in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and more recently in the US. Most Australian nursing homes and hostels use Webstercare medication systems and the demand is growing. The Webster-pak™ gives Aboriginal Health Workers, nurses, pharmacists and doctors total medication control and frees up time to spend monitoring and generally caring for their clients. Webster provides the most effective means of ensuring clients get the medication they need at the times they need it.

Mirrijini now brings Webster-pak™ to the remote Aboriginal health clinic setting.
