Other Ways to Remember to Take Your Pills
If you’re not tech savvy and are looking for other ways to track your medication, or could use additional reminders, here are a few ways you can remember to take your pills each day:
Create a Routine
A routine is essential, especially when managing multiple medications. To help you remember to take your pills each day, pair taking them with other daily activities. For example, before you sit down to eat breakfast, take your morning doses, or do the same around dinner time. Creating this routine can help turn taking your meds into a daily habit.
Set an Alarm
An alarm on your phone or watch can help you stay on top of your medications, especially when you’re out and about. If timing is important when taking your pills, make sure to set multiple alarms to avoid skipping any doses.
Use a Pillbox
Pillboxes or pill dispensers are a great way to keep track of all of your daily medications. If you have multiple medications each day, you can put each pill in the box for the corresponding day. Between setting an alarm and using a pillbox, you’ll be able to stay on top of your medications and not miss a dose.
Record Each Dose
Recording your medications each day is a simple yet effective way to not only keep track of the times you need to take your pill, but to help you monitor any side effects you’ve experienced when using new medications.
Our downloadable trackers can help you stay on top of your monthly medication intake so you never miss a dose. Each month, print out the tracker, record each medication you’ll be taking, specify the times they need to be taken, the proper dosage and any side effects you had if needed.
Staying on top of your medications can be easy with the help of these medication management apps. Always consult with your doctor to determine the most effective ways you can take your daily medications.
