Your meds matter: 5 ways to stick to your schedule

There’s no shame in being prescribed medication, but with so many things to keep track of throughout the day, it can be easy to forget to take them every once in a while. Missing just one dose can make your meds less effective, so it’s crucial to take all your prescriptions as directed to avoid complications and stay healthy. The easiest way to keep up with your medicine schedule is making it part of your daily routine, taking them every day, at the same time.

5 simple tips to stay on track with your medication

  1. Do a medication review: Talk to your doctors about whether you really need to keep taking all your current medications or if something might have changed.

  2. Utilize pharmacy services: Sign up for automatic refills, ask your pharmacist to package medication in blister packs and ask about more affordable options to keep refill costs low.

  3. Set daily reminders: A simple medication chart tacked to your fridge, a daily alarm or a medication tracking app on your phone can help you remember when to take your meds.

  4. Pick up a pill organizer: Separate your daily doses and keep your pill organizer in a visible spot, like next to your coffee pot, toothbrush or kitchen table, to jog your memory.

  5. Choose the easiest form of medication: If taking pills isn’t your favorite thing to do, you’re not alone. Ask your doctor if you can crush or cut your medication in half or if there is a liquid version available.
