You can forget about taking medications, even if you are sitting at home and seem to be doing nothing. But depending on what medicine you take, even one forgotten day can lead to the fact that all the treatment will be meaningless.
Keep the pills in sight
The easiest way to remember to take the medication is when you constantly see your medicine. Put it on your desk next to the computer or, if its intake is related to drinking water or your meal time, put it next to the refrigerator, a can of coffee or a carafe of water. As you know, it is best to swallow pills with clean water (thus, the pill will begin to act faster). It is better not to drink juice, milk or tea with your pills.
Buy two identical packs
Of course, this is not about ultra-expensive medicine, but about the one that is in the affordable price segment. Buy two packs at once: keep one at home and the other in your bag, so you will avoid situations when you urgently need to take a pill, which is stored in another place.
Download the app
Modern phones can keep track of how many steps you took, how much water you drank and whether you took a pill. All you need to do is to find the right application or just set a reminder for the desired date and time.
Use stickers
An older way to not forget something important is to use stickers on all possible surfaces. If you have a wall calendar at home, you can enter the necessary information there.
Buy a pill box
First of all, a pill box is needed by the people who need to take several medicines at once within a week. However, even for those who cannot boast an extensive collection, such a box may come in handy – it is convenient and safe to store medicines in it. Again, you can put the pill box in a prominent place on the table not to forget about anything.
Associate taking your medicine with your usual ritual
Associate your intake of medication with familiar rituals that you never miss. For example, start taking pills after brushing your teeth, after washing, or applying a mask to your face. Over time, the brain will connect both actions together, and you will be taking the drugs automatically.
