Probox® Cartons
Across the United Kingdom, one billion items are prescribed and dispensed by pharmacists every year. However, one in five patients surveyed as part of a recent industry report admitted to not taking their medication as prescribed.
By comparison, a carton that is branded clearly as Pharmacy Medication and pre-printed with important medication advice, with dedicated space for labels if addition information is required, provides much higher levels of patient safety.
It’s not a natural reaction to connect seeing a child with a plain white box as a potential risk. However, if it is clearly printed as a Prescription item, the medication will be taken from the child in an instant. You can also teach a child not to touch boxes that have specific logos. Modern medicine cartons come in many shapes and sizes, but all must comply with and promote patient safety standards.
In the UK, 500 children under five are rushed to hospital every week because it's suspected that they have swallowed something poisonous. By using clearly printed medicine cartons that are branded well when dispensing prescriptions, it is clear that medicine is medicine.
