With many medicines to keep track of, it’s important to learn certain tricks to help you keep them organized:
- Keep an up-to-date list of all medicines and supplements and any allergies. Bring all of your medicines or a complete list to every health care provider appointment and hospital visit.
- Keep all medicines in a safe place.
- Check the “expiration” or “use by” date of all medicines.
- Keep all the medicines in original bottles. Use weekly pill organizers to keep track of what needs to be taken each day.
- Devise a system to help you track when to give each medicine during the day.
