Melrose Pharmacy prepares each customer’s medications in a sealed, clear, plastic packet, called a PASS Packet™, which is arthritic-approved for easy opening. Each PASS Pack is custom-printed with the customer’s name; day and time of dose; medication names, strengths, and descriptions; and other details. Melrose Pharmacy supplies a weekly or monthly strip of PASS Packs, which are rolled into a dispensing box, providing a quick and easy way for caregivers to verify that the last dose was taken, minimizing potential errors.
Melrose Pharmacy is the first pharmacy in Phoenix to offer PASS Pack packaging for customers.
“Melrose Pharmacy is proud to offer our customers the safest, most convenient prescription filling options available, promoting higher compliance and reducing medication waste,” said Teresa Stickler, Pharmacist/Owner. “It’s always a challenge for pharmacists to ensure that patients adhere to their medication regimen, but it’s reassuring to know that PASS Pack is helping our customers make home medications more manageable.”
To offer the customized PASS Pack, Melrose Pharmacy invested in a Para PASS packaging system, which automates preparation of PASS Pack strips at the pharmacy, to ensure the highest level of safety and accuracy.
“From caregivers and their family members, to parents whose children must take medications at school, to busy travelers, the Parata PASS Pack helps people know when and how to take their medications,” said Tom Rhoads, CEO of Parata Systems. “Pharmacies that offer Parata PASS are helping their customers reduce risk and increase convenience - ultimately helping them live healthier lives.”
