Abstract
Non-adherence to the medication has been a serious health issue, leading to lower therapy results and possibly even death. One of the largest non-adherence causes is a complex drug regimen. To ease this issue, the researchers evaluated the use of a calendar blister pack, individually prepared for each patient. Pharmacies have been offering services of individually prepared medication with successful results and significant acceptability from the patients. Nowadays, numerous solutions on the market, namely pill organizers and dispensers, aim to remind patients about the medication and help them to manage medication stock. This document aims to be a steppingstone for those who want to improve and further develop medication organizing and dispensing devices.
