Unit Dose Options From Health Care Logistics® Simplify Filling, Dispensing | Health Care Logistics 


Cut the time and cost of drug packaging for individual patients with solutions designed to optimize results.

Company Background

What began in 1978 as a garage-based business at the home of HCL® Owner Gary Sharpe now encompasses five well-equipped facilities in central Ohio and reaches customers around the globe. Employment has grown, with more than 300 employees dedicated to the company’s mission of providing unmatched customer service. Sharpe discovered early in his career the need for healthcare products in sizes, quantities, and materials not readily available and was determined to deliver. And has he ever. Today, inventory includes more than 9,000 different products, all designed to provide “special answers to special problems.” Most of these items are maintained locally in more than 320,000 square feet of warehouse space and meet the supply needs of hospitals, pharmacies, chain drug stores, pharmaceuticals, and many other facets of healthcare.


Product Overview

Administer the right medication, to the right patient, at the right time. It’s the outcome our unit dose products are designed to produce. Because each dose is individually packaged and labeled, it helps ensure accurate dispensing and greater prescription adherence by patients, especially those in long-term care settings.

Use Memory Pac® Blister Cards and SureMed™ Multimed Packs to package and dispense solid medication for individual patient needs. Cards, which are preprinted with easy-to-follow directions, available in multiple sizes depending on the number of days and administration times needed. These options require no special equipment for assembly and they can be completed quickly within budget. They give pharmacy personnel the ability to increase packaging efficiency and facilitate better tracking of medication use.

We offer a variety of task-specific storage containers for these items, including a punch card cart and the HCL® Punch Card Bin and Punch Card Dividers, all designed to provide quick access in the busy pharmacy setting.

To package liquid medication with more safety and less hand fatigue, use HCL® Tamper Tuf Vials or Easy Fill Vials with Plugs together with the HCL® LUD 2.0 Press. These tamper-evident vials protect medication integrity and improve patient safety, while the press and vial holder (included) facilitate convenient, mess-free sealing.

Create, store, share, and print pharmacy labels for all your unit dose packages with our free online pharmacy labeling service, goHCLabels®. Because it is web-based, there is no software to install and no valuable information to risk losing with a computer crash. Ready-made templates save time and improve efficiency. Print full sheets or single labels in full color from your desktop printer as your needs require.

Reduce the potential for medication-related complications without expensive equipment or lengthy processes. Our unit dose options make it possible. We offer small package quantities and most orders ship on the same day.
