What are the benefits of using Demo Dose® products?

Demo Dose® products are widely used in healthcare training environments–such as in nursing schools, medical schools, pharmacy programs, EMT programs, and in hospital simulation labs–for safely practicing medication: dispensing, preparation, administration, and storage. Here are some key benefits of using Demo Dose simulated medications:

  1. Safe Practice
    • Contains no active ingredients, so there's no risk to students or patients during training.
    • Allows for repeated practice without safety concerns.
    • Packaging clearly indicates intended usage protocol; Demo Dose medications are not for human or animal use and are simulated (NOT REAL).
  2. Realistic Simulation
    • Designed to look, feel, and function like real medications, which helps learners become familiar with:
    • Drug names
    • Packaging
    • Dosage calculations
    • Administration techniques (routes: oral, IV, IM, SQ, etc.)
  3. Boosts Confidence
    • Trainees can practice skills multiple times, building muscle memory and confidence before working with real patients.
  4. Supports a Wide Range of Training
    • Available in many forms: vials, ampules, tablets, IV bags, syringes, and more.
    • Useful for simulating emergency scenarios, med-passing, dosage prep, and more.
  5. Compliance with Educational Standards
    • Helps meet clinical education requirements by simulating realistic clinical experiences.
  6. Reduces Waste and Cost
    • Eliminates the need to waste real, expensive medication for practice purposes.
  7. Saves Instructors Time
    • Instructors no longer must create their own medications for simulation use.
