Treatment Woes
People diagnosed with chronic illnesses like
hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol levels) need to
change their lifestyles from how it used to be.
The challenge is to find a trusted
healthcare brand that will ensure not just quality but also availability
ensuring uninterrupted treatment. Second, the need for lifestyle modification
is of utmost importance – patients must be aware of the chronicity of their
disease, how complications would arise if these are poorly controlled & how
vital it is to modify one’s lifestyle especially practical diet, nutrition and
physical activity.
Winning Over
Chronic Illnesses with Watsons Compliance Packs
A year and a half ago, Watsons Pharmacy
launched the country’s first Compliance Pack program to help improve health
outcomes of people afflicted with chronic diseases. “It’s high time for patients to win over chronic illnesses and take
charge of their health & well-being. Through this program, we want to build
awareness on medication compliance as a vital tool for therapeutic health,
especially when it comes to chronic conditions. This is because, despite having
these illnesses, it’s still possible for patients to enjoy healthier, quality
lives,” said Watsons Health Business Unit Director Lyle Morrell.
Since then thousands of patients suffering
from hypertension, diabetes and high cholesterol have greatly benefitted from
the program. Dina Sarne, 47, a working mom and hypertensive relates: “Malaking tulong and Watson’s Compliance
Pack kasi naiiwasan yung mga instances na I missed out on my medication. Dahil
halos 60% yung savings, nakakabili na ako ng monthly supply. Hindi din ako
worried kasi alam kong trusted yung manufacturer”.
Leonardo Garcia, 50, on the other has been
diabetic since 2007. Last year, he started using Compliance Pack Metformin
saying, “Very
timely ang produkto na ito dahil yung mga pamangkin ko tinutulungan ko din..
nag-aaral pa sila so yung savings na nakukuha ko sa gamot ay nagagamit
kong pandagdag sa sa allowances
nila! Also, now
I see a brighter future kasi alam kong kaya kong I manage yung sakit ko at
hindi sya hindrance in living my life to the fullest.”
Event Director Rodgil Flores, 44 with high cholesterol,
enthused “Added feature ng Watson Compliance Pack is
that it comes with a very informative literature – mga tips on how to better
manage my health condition! Yung pharmacist din nagka counsel talaga so they
help as well. I’m a very busy person, if I’m not involved with events I go
around the country judging beauty pageants so I should always bring my
medicines with me. With this program of Watsons, it’s easier to stock up on my
medication”
Inspired by the positive affirmations from
patients, Watsons pushes the envelope further by relaunching the Compliance
Pack program that’s even more affordable, informative and rewarding.
