What Is a Blister Pack?
A blister pack is a sealed, clearly labeled medication packaging system prepared by your pharmacist. Each bubble holds the exact pills you need for a specific time of day—morning, noon, evening, or bedtime.
At John & Jack Pharmacy, we tailor your blister packaging to match your prescription schedule, including weekly or extended formats where appropriate.

Who Should Consider Blister Packs?
FAQ — Blister Packs / Bubble Packs
Are blister packs the same as bubble packs?
Yes — in Canada, these terms refer to the same organized medication packaging system.
What medications can go into a blister pack?
Most solid oral prescriptions can be packed. Some must remain in bottles for safety — we’ll review each medication for you. p>
Do you offer Dispill packs?
Yes. Dispill is a well-known Canadian multi-dose blister system, and we can prepare your medications using that format.
How often do I get a new pack?
Most people receive weekly packs, but we’ll tailor timing to your prescriptions and preferences.
Is this service good for seniors at home?
Absolutely — blister packs are strongly recommended for anyone taking multiple medications, especially seniors living independently.
Is there any cost for this service?
No — our blister pack service is provided at no extra cost to help patients take their medications safely.
What if my doctor changes my dose in the middle of the week?
Do not worry and do not try to adjust the pack yourself. Bring the current pack back to us immediately. We will remove the old dose and repackage it with the new instructions to ensure you remain safe.
Can you include my vitamins or aspirin?
Yes! We can include most over-the-counter medications (like baby aspirin, vitamins, or supplements) directly in your blister pack so you don't have to juggle extra bottles.
I am going on vacation. Can I get extra packs?
Yes. Whether you are heading to the cottage or traveling abroad, we can prepare multiple weeks of packs in advance. Please just give us a few days' notice to prepare everything.
