Our Adherence Packaging

As a global leader in healthcare and pharmaceutical compliance packaging, MWV can help healthcare and pharmaceutical companies drive compliance, market share and the bottom line.

Packaging that Enhances Compliance

Compliance packaging is a prepackaged, ready-to-dispense system that contains one treatment cycle of a medication and compliance aids and patient education materials. These materials motivate and remind the patient to take the medication correctly, enabling them to reduce or eliminate medication errors. Compliance packaging can incorporate child resistant, brand security and safety features.

Effective healthcare and pharmaceutical packaging — including compliance aids, healthcare information and safety features — play a strong role in promoting compliance.

Unit dose medications packaged in blister packs provide more systematic dosing schedules to help patients remember to take medications.

Electronic compliance packaging features (recording of pill dispensing) can add to the impact on compliance. Injectable or parenteral packaging and solid oral dose forms can also include compliance features.          

Persistence and Patient-Focused Packaging

Related to compliance is persistence: how long the patient takes the drug. Experts report that with many chronic medications more than half the patients who start a drug typically stop taking it within six months.

Our patient-focused packaging links compliance and educational information to the primary package, so the patient is prompted and educated throughout the regimen. It’s been found that when patients gain greater understanding of their illness and treatment, both compliance and persistence are enhanced.
