Pre-packing of Medicine
The pre-packing of medicine refers to medications that have been purchased in bulk-packaging from manufacturers/suppliers and are repackaged into smaller packages either in unit dose or unit-of-use packaging. For example, Paracetamol 500 mg tablets are supplied in big containers of say 10,000 tablets by the manufacturer – at the Pharmacy they are repackaged into smaller packages of 10, 20 or more tablets to facilitate unit-of-use dispensing at the outpatient department.

*Please note that this requirement is not triggered from the patient’s medication orders, but rather it is the management of supplies within the pharmacy by pharmacists. *
