What is the best way to make sure I don’t forget a dose?
Use a pill box and leave your medicine sitting someplace you will always see it, but not someplace where children or pets can get into it. If the medicine is not in the box for that day, you know you have taken it. If it is still sitting there, you know you still need to take it. This avoids accidentally missed doses or overdoses. The only exception is for “disintegrating tablets,” which should be left it their blister packs until you are ready to take them. Set a timer on your cell phone to remind yourself. Try not to be too annoyed if other people remind you about your medicine. They are just trying to help, and everyone needs reminders sometimes!
