#MedicalPackaging, specifically the #ChildProofCap / #SafetyCap, has again prevented an #ElderlyRelative from taking their dose of medicine.

My confidence that these things are adequately tested for usability by the frailer aged is low, very low.

More generally, the limit of the efficacy of any drug seems largely determined by the accessibility of #PatientCompliance with the required dosage.

And then there is #PostReleaseCare for #PainControl.
Demand a detailed description before surgery?
😱

@caity
I have been repeatedly disappointed in the #PostReleaseCare provided.

Confused patient being put in charge of own complex pharmaceutical pain management.
Confused patient being released without access to getting critical dressing changed.
Knee replacement patient not being adequately supported in doing rehab exercises.

Thinking you deserve to have been informed before the #Surgery about what you needed to buy before the surgery, and being adequately supported in buying it.
