Medication Dose Dispensing

Local Pharmacy Hervanta's services also include popular and safe automated medication dose dispensing. Dose dispensing makes medication management easier: you get your two-week supply of medications in clear single-dose packets, dated and marked by time of day.

In addition to making medication use easier, automated dose dispensing

  • minimizes medication intake errors.
  • is a hygienic option.
  • is an economical choice, as you pay only for the medications delivered, not for packaging.

By choosing our medication dose dispensing service, you also get a medication review to ensure compatibility of your medications. Contact us or come visit!

Prescription Renewal and Acting on Behalf of Another

Would you like to renew your prescription or act on behalf of another person? Both are possible at Local Pharmacy Hervanta.

Our friendly pharmacy staff can make the prescription renewal request on your behalf and send it to your doctor.

If you want to purchase medications for your child, spouse, or another person, you can do it in two ways:

  1. Show the person you are helping's Kela card, patient instructions, printed summary.
  2. Create a Pharmacy Service Authorization in the suomi.fi service. Once the authorization is made, you must prove your identity at the pharmacy, after which you can pick up another person's prescription medications or renew their prescription.
