One of the most effective methods to prevent medical errors is by implementing a barcode system to identify medications at the unit-dose level for dispensing and administration. This use of barcoding sets a strong foundation for patient safety in your hospital pharmacy.

Dasco pharmacy labels allow hospitals to add variable data to drugs at the unit dose level. Ensures that the correct medication in the correct dosage is administered to the correct patient. Streamline your processes and protect your patients with Dasco pharmacy labeling solutions.

Dasco offers a complete selection of thermal printers, labels, scanners, and software that stand alone or interface with your pharmacy information system. Our thermal transfer system reduces cost and improves efficiency over laser printing systems.
