Medi-Mints™: It's Only Natural!
Medi-Mints are available for these commonly prescribed equine preparations:
Wedgewood Pharmacy's exclusive Medi-Mints dosage-form takes advantage of many horses' affinity for this natural taste. By combining common equine medications with the mint flavor that many horses love, Medi-Mints provide one more option to help improve compliance. It's only natural.
We care about the high cost of non-compliance.
An animal's compliance with medication regimes is not a joke when compliance makes the difference between good health and illness. An animal's health, of course, is tied to compliance. But did you know that horse owners’ frustration with medicating their animals is tied directly to the profitability of your practice?
These facts from recent research may surprise you:
- The rate of compliance for chronic medication is just 76%. That means an astounding 24% of pets aren't being treated with the medications they need to live healthy lives — and in some cases, simply to live.
- Animal owners who are shown one or more ways to administer medication had a significantly higher rate of compliance (73% vs. 59% for those not shown). Yet, only 43% of practices show animal owners how to administer medication.
- 60% of owners would pay more for medication that is palatable or easy to administer.
- 93% of veterinarians say that compliance monitoring has a positive impact on their practice.
- 72% of animal owners would like to receive information in writing about their pets' medication so they could refer back to it.
Here are 8 ways to make non-compliance a non-issue:
- Give owners information about the dangers of non-compliance.
- Give owners simple, detailed instructions and easy administration techniques.
- Prescribe medications that taste better.
- Prescribe medications that are smaller and easier to administer.
- Prescribe medications that are more affordable, when possible.
- Provide automated refill reminders.
- Make it easier, safer and more convenient for pet owners to get the medications they need.
- Increase communication and follow-up with pet owners.
