What does DTD mean in PRESCRIPTION

DTD stands for Dentur Tales Doses, an innovative drug delivery system designed to provide accessible and convenient administration of medications to patients.

The DTD system consists of two components, the medication vial and an adapter which is connected to the patient's denture, allowing them to self-administer their medications. The adapter also supports secure tracking and reporting, enabling healthcare providers to remotely monitor progress with treatment plans and ensure timely re-supply of medications when needed.

Using the DTD system provides several advantages over traditional methods of medication delivery. Since it is easy to use, it eliminates complicated processes such as filling syringes or pouring liquids into cups. Additionally, it helps reduce common mistakes made by patients at home when administering medications as well as reducing dependency on caregivers or family members; both of which can lead to improved patient safety. Lastly, medication adherence can be increased as a result of having access to real-time feedback from clinicians when needed.

Patients requiring ongoing treatments for chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension or heart disease who wear full dentures or possess partial upper dentures may be eligible for using the DTD system if found suitable by their healthcare provider during consultation and assessment.
