Venalink goes larger with compliance pack

Monitored dosage company Venalink has launched medication compliance pack Qube.

Qube boasts the largest capacity blister available, according to the company, as well as larger breakfast and night-time blisters to accommodate these traditionally heavier dosage times.

The “cube-like” blisters allow easier checking for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians, a spokesperson says.

Venalink managing director Steve Readdie says the Qube was the result of demand for a product for patients on multiple medications.

The launch is being supported by a Qube starter pack at £99, which includes 250 cards and blisters, a pill bat and a decanting tool.
