Medicine Reminders
You may need reminders to take your medicines on time. Here are some tips to help you remember:
- “X” marks the spot. Mark an X on a calendar each day after you take your medicines.
- Use a daily or weekly pill box. You can buy these boxes in most drug stores. Some have sections for the time of day that pills need to be taken.
- Set timers to remind you. Use an alarm clock, kitchen timer, or timer on a watch.
- Use daily habits as reminders. Choose things you do about the same time each day. If you need to take medicine in the morning, for example, you might want to do so after you brush your teeth.
- Refill your prescription before it runs out. Write a note to remind yourself when you need a refill.
