Tips for Medication Management
- Keep all medications in one place
- Use a medication box to organize pills and assure that the care recipient is taking them properly
- Keep an updated list of the medications in the home (name, dosage, when and how taken)
- Take the medication list to all doctor appointments
- Store the pills that are not in the medication box in their original bottles to avoid confusing the different pills
- Some prescriptions have special storage requirements, such as refrigeration, so be sure you know how to safely store all medications
- Report to all doctors any supplements that you are taking, including the dose and when they are taken
- Be sure to take pills according to the package directions (for example: some pills need to be taken with food, others on an empty stomach, etc.)
- Order refills a few days before pills run out to assure that you are never without your pills
- When you travel, always have a few days of extra pills with you in case your travel plans change at the last minute
