MethaMeasure systems dispensed over 300
million doses of Methadone last year.
Methadone is the main treatment for opiate
addiction in the UK. It is most frequently
dispensed through community pharmacies,
some of which dispense in large volumes.
The MethaMeasure dispensing system is
a phenomenally cost effective solution for
pharmacists who dispense to 10 or more
patients a day – increasing their dispensing
capacity, improving patient safety and
reduce staffing requirements.
How does it work?
The system allows the pharmacist to:
• Recognise patients (photograph, fingerprint, barcode).
• Dispense the methadone.
• Automatically produce labels/PMR entries.
• Create a CD register, with running balances and
electronic capability.
What are the advantages?
• Extremely fast dispensing – presentation of a patient
to leaving the pharmacy can be reduced to 20 seconds.
• No need to prepare doses in advance – a take home supply
for a week can be dispensed in seconds.
• Automatic compliance with the 2008 changes to the CD
Regulations (patient ID/running balances).
• Dispense to as many patients as are available, with no
increase in staff requirements.
Costs?
The system costs from £199pcm (inclusive of supply
and maintenance) and is entirely tax deductible.
In conjunction with the NPA, we are offering a free
trial if you dispense to 10 patients or more a day.
