The members of the Monday club were enthralled by the demonstration given by Eleanor and Jane from Creebridge Pharmacy. They showed the group how they prepare and dispense medication via blister packs.
They also informed the group that medication need not be dispensed in child proof bottles if the patient is having difficulty in opening them. An arrangement can made via the Pharmacy for different bottles.
This is also true of certain tablets that may be difficult to swallow, alternatives are available if you ask!
Everyone had a go using Tic-tacs, marshmallows etc in place of actual medication to make up their own blister packs and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It was so popular, that even Pam's gentle exercise had to fall by the wayside!
A big thank you to Eleanor and Jane for all their input, and we are sure that the group will want them back for a further talk next year.
