Twist-a-Dose Transdermal Gel Applicator

When all else fails, prescribe Twist-a-Dose.

With the Twist-a-Dose transdermal gel applicator, you won't have to worry whether cats that refuse certain capsules and oral liquids are receiving their prescribed medications. With just two easy steps, a no-mess applicator, and no tiny markings to read, you can rest assured that our feline friends will receive the prescribed amount of medication every time. Because it's applied directly to the cat's ear, the owner has minimal contact with the medication. Wedgewood Pharmacy understands the need for alternative routes of delivery when oral dosing is not a feasible option. Wedgewood Pharmacy recommends that you consult with a pharmacist before you prescribe a transdermal medication.

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. 
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;
• Pet 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 pet 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 pet owners would like to receive information in writing about their pets’ medication so they could refer back to it.

Here are eight ways to make non-compliance a non-issue.

1. Give pet owners information about the dangers of non-compliance.
2. Give pet owners simple, detailed instructions and easy administration techniques.
3. Prescribe medications that taste good.
4. Prescribe medications that are small and easy to administer.
5. Prescribe medications that are more affordable, when possible.
6. Provide automated refill reminders.
7. Make it easier, safer and more convenient for pet owners to get the medications they need.
8. Increase communication and follow-up with pet owners.
