Immediate or deferred adjustment of drug regimens in multidose drug dispensing systems

Multidose drug dispensing (MDD) is used to help patients take their medicines appropriately.

Manual immediate adjustments of the MDD system could introduce dispensing errors. MDD guidelines therefore recommend to effectuate drug regimen changes at the start of a new MDD system.
