ERS Media Pharmacy Dispensing Labels

ERS Solutions for Accurate Pharmacy Dispensing Labels
IDENTIFY MEDICINES SAFELY AND EASILY

Accurate Pharmacy Labelling

Scanning barcode labels, produced by reliable thermal printers enables pharmacists to automatically verify and record medication dispensing as well as check the prescription order to validate that the correct medication and dosage were dispensed.

Easy and Reliable Pharmacy Labels
Each year over 900 million items are dispensed throughout England and Wales alone. Regardless of how many pharmaceuticals are received a certain amount of re-packaging or re-labelling is required.

ERS can meet all on-demand barcode labelling needs, whether repackaging bulk products delivered to pharmacies, or printing dosage instructions for patients.

ERS thermal printers and labels produce barcodes used for dispensing — those same barcodes then enable bedside medication administration. The optimal approach for maximising patient safety is to add barcoded variable data to every drug in a pharmacy.

High Quality
NHS UK recommendations are that medication dispensing labels should include;

- Patient name
- Name and address of the dispensing pharmacy
- Dispensing date
- Medicine name
- Dosage instructions
- Amount of medicine in the container and the strength
- Cautions or warning messages that apply to your medicine

ERS Label Supplies are thoroughly tested to ensure the best print quality time after time. With sharp text and clear barcodes, labels scan quickly and reliably. Crucially, information is clearly legible for patients taking the medication.

A variety of adhesives are available, which ensure the printed labels remain on the
medication even with difficult applications such as labelling textured boxes, paper bags and items which are stored in the fridge.
