What happens when I have a medication change (a new med, a discontinued med or a dosage change to an existing med)?
There are many different ways to handle medication changes. Your pharmacist will work with you and your doctor to determine the best option. When a medication is discontinued the patient will either: (1) Manually remove the discontinued tablet(s) from the remaining DailyMed™ strip. The patient should then discard the removed tablet(s). (2) Remember not to take the discontinued tablet each day when he/she opens each packet. The pharmacy can give you an empty vial with the proper prescription labeling to store your removed medications. The addition of medication(s) to a patient’s drug therapy can also be accommodated. The course of action will depend on how many days are left in the patient’s DailyMed™ dispenser. Options include either having a traditional vial fill until the next start date of DailyMed™ or holding the start of the new therapy change until the next start date based on discussion and recommendations we would conduct with the prescribing physician.
