Tips to Help You Remember to Take Your Medication

When you have been prescribed a new medication, it can be hard to get used to. Adjusting to new medicine and adding it to your routine can be challenging at first. In addition to properly storing your medications, following your treatment plan can help you stay healthy and manage your symptoms. As your trusted independent pharmacy in Cleveland, Ohio, we will share tips to help you remember to take your medications:

• Use a pillbox.

  Your local pharmacy in Ohio may sell pillboxes and similar containers that will make it easier to manage your medications. A weekly pillbox with compartments for each day of the week can provide a visual reminder to help take your medicine and prevent double doses.

• Develop a routine.

  Take your medication with an activity that you do perform at the same time each day. For instance, you can take your medication after brushing your teeth or after meals to make it easier to remember.

• Record each dose.

  Use your phone’s calendar or a journal to record each dose. Check off each date when you take a dose. This can help you avoid missing doses and will also remind you to get prescription refills in Garfield Heights, Ohio.

• Set an alarm.

  Set an alarm on your phone to remind you to take your medication. A daily alarm can be helpful, especially during busy days or when you need to take your medicine at a specific hour.
