Keeping your medicines organized
If you take a lot of different medicines, you may find it hard to keep them straight. You may forget to take your medicine, take the wrong dose, or take it at the wrong time.
Learn some tips to make taking all of your medicines easier. Here are some suggestions.
*USE A PILL ORGANIZER
You can buy a pill organizer at the drug store or online. There are many kinds. Ask the pharmacist to help you pick an organizer that will work best for you.
Things to think about when choosing a pill organizer:
1. The number of days, such as 7, 14, or 28-day size.
2. The number of compartments for each day, such as 1, 2, 3, or 4 compartments.
3. For example, if you take medicine 4 times each day, you can use a 7-day pill organizer with 4 compartments for each day (morning, noon, evening, and bedtime). Fill the pill organizer to last 7 days. Some pill organizers let you snap out one day's worth of pills. You can carry this with you if you are out all day. You can also use a different 7-day pill organizer for the 4 times of the day. Label each one with the time of day.
Below we recommend some pill organizers for you.
