Helpful Hint: Use a permanent marker to write the day and
time for each dose on the lid of the cup . This is helpful if cups
are unloaded to make medication changes or if you dispense
doses early .
The medication cups can now be loaded into the dispenser . After a week’s worth of
medication has been loaded, repeat the process above to prepare medication cups for
the remaining days or weeks .
Loading Medication
• Accuracy in loading the dispenser is critical. Double-check each cup prior to loading,
and follow the loading instructions announced and displayed on the dispenser .
• Always load a complete day’s worth of medication EXCEPT when loading the
dispenser for the first time. When loading for the first time, you will be instructed
to load only the medications remaining for the day .
• Load cups upside down in the order that they are to be taken. In other words, the
1st dose of the day is loaded first, the 2nd dose is loaded second, etc.
