Whether it's memory or physical support - here's some ideas to help mange and take your medication safely.
Pivotel's are great if someone struggles to dispense and or remember to take there medication. The device gets pre filled and set and then it will dispense the tablets at the times set. It will set an alarm sound once a tablet is dispensed and a further alarm if the tablet is not taken within a set time.
Lock boxes are important tools if you have someone who struggles to manage there medication and/or maybe a risk of overdose.
Blister boxes or doset boxes are great for organising your tablets so you can clearly see day and time they need to be taken. It also gives you a visual of any tablets you may have missed. You can also ask your pharmacy whether you'd be eligible for them to refill your tablets into a blister pack!
Pill punchers help you to get your tablet out of its packet! It can be a very tricky task at times, so these can be beneficial!
Medication bottles can be tricky to open sometimes! So if your medication comes in a bottle/liquid form these may come in handy.
Recording medication being taken and how much is important especially if you have a mix of people supporting with it!
