A dosage administration aid (DAA) (often known as a Websterpak® or Dosette®) is a commonly used device that our pharmacist can pack for you every week. By using a DAA you can tell whether or not you have taken your medicines.
Webstercare’s Flexi-pak Cold Seal.
Pack cost $10 per week plus the cost of your medicines.
Each individual blister compartment is labelled with your name, dosage time, day of the week, and the medicines contained within. Perforations in the pack enable individual doses to be removed and taken wherever you go. The remaining medicines stay safely attached to the main pack.
If you have a DVA card you may be eligible for free dosage administration aids after a Home Medicine Review (ask your GP). (see www.dva.gov.au/health-and-wellbeing/wellbeing/dose-administration-aid-service). Some health funds may reimburse for a Dosage Administration Aid.
