Can everything on my prescription go into the pouches?
PillTime aims to pouch as many medications as possible, but some items may not be suitable for pouches.
Here’s what you need to know:
Prescription Instructions
We follow your doctors prescription instructions. Ensure your prescription specifies exactly when you want to take each medication and matches your medication cycle. A conversation with your surgery can help confirm these details.
Items Not Suitable for Pouches
Certain medications will be sent in their original packaging due to specific requirements:
- Medications with a Desiccant: Some items contain a desiccant to absorb moisture, which cannot be included in pouches.
- "As Needed" or Irregular Medications: Medications taken on alternate days or only when required.
- Schedule 2 Controlled Drugs: For example, morphine and methadone.
- Certain Schedule 3 and 4 Controlled Drugs: These must be stored safely by law.
PillTime will send these items along with your pouches to ensure your complete medication order is safely delivered.
