Rexam Pharmaceutical Packaging and Med Time Technology Team Up to Provide Pharmacists with Most Innovative Way Yet to Remind Customers to Take Their Medication on Time
Coming to a pharmacy near you
is a bright new way to remember to take your prescription medication as
prescribed called The Pill Timer, thanks to an agreement between Med Time
Technology Inc. and Rexam Plastics, the largest manufacturer of plastic
prescription vials in the U.S.
"Innovative packaging solutions to medical problems is the lifeblood of
our business," said Mike Vanderpol, Rexam Sales Director. "This strategic
alliance enables our customers to help patients with chronic illness and
life threatening diseases by effectively managing a medical condition with
proper medication management."
"Until there is a cure for diseases or chronic condition, the next best
thing we can do to help patients maximize health benefits and minimize risk
of treatment failure is by taking medications on time," said Ian Shendale,
Med Time CEO. "Rexam's goal was to select a partner who could supply a
single, harmonized platform that presents state of the art, interactive
medication alerts," he said.
According to The Pill Timer co-creator Craig Schreiber, "For the first
time, pharmacists will be able to dispense prescription medicine in vials
the pharmacist programs to remind patients to take their medication." The
prescription closures beep and flash when it's time. This is the first
medication management system ever built into a prescription vial cap
designed to be programmed by a pharmacist.
Med Time (http://www.medtimetechnology.com) will soon announce the first
pharmacy chains dispensing the new med management system on Rexam's vials.
The Pill Timer addresses the serious problem of poor medication
management and adherence, a principal cause of treatment failure, adverse
drug events, and emergency room visits, hospital readmissions due to
careless or neglectful over dosing or under dosing of medicine. This in
turn costs the U.S. economy $300 billion and results in 300,000 deaths
annually.
The Pill-Timer is easy to use and dosage times may be designated by the
pharmacist or patient. The Pill Timer incorporates 100 medication commands
and audio and visual alerts. The LCD screen flashes if dosage is missed and
presents vital pre and post medication Information. The Pill Timer also has
a built in hourly reminder alarm that will activate every hour after a
dosage has been missed.
