MDS at a Glance
What is MDS?
Venalink monitored dosage system (MDS) is a hermetically sealed drug repackaging solution that enables the Pharmacist to group patient medication according to day and time dosage requirements.
The Venalink system allows patients or care givers to correctly administer the necessary doses with confidence and ease, avoiding many of the errors made with medication administration.
The use of MDS eases the difficulty of taking multiple doses of medication. The blister pack ensures that the medication is displayed the same each time the patient receives their pack, to avoid any confusion that may arise with individual tablet boxes. It allows the patient or care giver to keep track of what to take and when and monitor any doses missed.
