Product Overview
Suburban Pharmacy Long-Term Care uses Medicine-On-Time packaging for our independent customers. Medicine-on-Time is a customized pill cup that is expertly prepared by your pharmacist. Each safety-sealed cup holds all the pills you or your loved one is prescribed, and is labeled with the customer name, the pill cup’s contents, and precisely when to take the medication. Individual pill cups are assembled in reusable color-coded calendar cards.
