Buffalo Pharmacies addresses medication adherence

Independent community pharmacy offers multi-med blister card packaging that helps patients, caregivers and pharmacists manage complex medication regimens.

Whether it’s offering free local delivery and mail service for its prescriptions, providing home medical equipment, or compounding services, Buffalo Pharmacies focuses like a laser on providing quality pharmaceutical care to western New Yorkers—as it has for more than 50 years.

The pharmacy’s personal approach extends to its packaging as well, which aims to increase patient adherence to medications. That’s especially significant for patients with multiple chronic conditions who find it difficult to manage numerous daily medications.

Alec Gillies, General Manager at Buffalo Pharmacies, explains, “We have identified medication adherence as a focal point to showcase our strengths as an independent community pharmacy.”

To do that, Buffalo Pharmacies selected SureMed® packaging from Omnicell. “SureMed cards offer a clear, concise format that is easy for patients and caregivers alike to read and comprehend,” says Gillies. “The ability to provide perforated cards was important in our selection as [they] offer a level of convenience for the patient that many other competitors do not have. The ability to simply ‘tear off’ a dose and take that with you as opposed to taking the whole card is a big advantage.”
