American Health Packaging Launches New Unit Dose Products
American Health Packaging recently launched two new significant products to our growing unit dose line: Mucinex ER Bi-layer 600 mg tablets and Imatinib Mesylate 100 mg and 400 mg tablets (AB-rated to Gleevec®).
Our line now stands at over nearly 550 SKUs—the most comprehensive in the industry! AHP unit dose launches are part of an ongoing commitment to support health systems’ BCMA initiatives while promoting efficiency in pharmacy operations also.
With the launch of Unit Dose Plus™ in 2015, AHP was the first unit dose provider to introduce a line specific to lower-volume, difficult-to-find items. Customers had reported for some time that in addition to the higher-volume UD items, they also required many lower volume products in order to minimize in-house packaging tasks that take staff away from other more critical patient care duties. The new line from AHP features smaller-count carton sizes to support customers to avoid costly waste and time-consuming returns.
All American Health Packaging unit dose items are bar coded to the dose level and feature an extended shelf life. In addition, our cartons feature color-coded labels with “tall man” lettering to more easily distinguish them in the pharmacy prior to dispensing.
