It is important you take the right dose of your prescribed medicines at the right time each day to get the most from your medicines to control your condition(s) as much as possible. This can sometimes be difficult if you take more than one medicine. The Monitored Dosage System provides a separate compartment for each dosage time of the day, this comes with a card for you to know which medication you are taking, which compartment it is in and what it looks like.

A monitored dosage system (MDS) is a medication storage device designed to simplify the administration of solid oral dose medication, especially for those on multiple medications. It aims to address the issues of accessing medication due to sight impairment or other disability and/or forgetfulness.

MDS devices are usually a variation on the design of a box or a blister pack, divided into days of the week with several compartments per day to allow for the different timing of doses such as breakfast, lunch, dinner and bedtime.

MDS may be suitable for patients in the following circumstances:

You struggle to organise medications and find it difficult to remember to take them at the correct time each day You have a large number of medications to take each day You find it difficult to remove medication from its packaging You have a carer who helps you to ensure you take your medicines correctly.
