MEDICATION SYNCHRONIZATION

Packaging Organizes What You Take.
Med Sync Coordinates When You Refill.

Packaging organizes doses; synchronization coordinates refill dates. They may be used together or separately, depending on your prescriptions and needs. Synchronization does not change your prescribed dose.

Medication Packaging

Organize What You Take

Eligible medications are arranged according to your prescribed medication schedule, helping you see how your medications are organized without managing multiple prescription bottles separately.

Medication Synchronization

Coordinate When You Refill

Medication synchronization — often called Med Sync — helps coordinate eligible prescription refill dates so more of your ongoing medications can be prepared on the same schedule.

Organized Medications + Coordinated Refills = A Simpler Routine

A More Organized Routine for Patients and Caregivers

Older adults, caregivers, and people of any age managing multiple prescriptions can ask whether packaging or synchronized refills would suit their routine. Our pharmacist reviews individual needs; packaging is not automatically appropriate for everyone.

Managing Multiple Prescriptions

Managing several ongoing prescriptions? Packaging may reduce daily sorting for eligible medicines. Keep an up-to-date medication list and ask our pharmacist about directions you do not understand.

Different Refill Dates

Med Sync can help coordinate eligible prescriptions that are currently due at different times.

Caregivers & Families

Helping an older parent or another family member? Ask how labeled compartments can support their prescribed schedule. Tell our pharmacist if reading, opening, or handling the packs is difficult.
