Systems to Keep Track of Taking Medications


Many seniors take several medications so it is essential that they develop a system to keep track of taking their medications.

Some do it by using pill boxes with the day of the week.........others do it by using a box marked with the time of day the pill is to be taken - and the appropriate meds are in each box.

The Ohio State University and the Ohio Aging Network Professionals has a link to an article that lists several different systems.

Find one for you.
Make sure your spouse/children know which one you use.
Update it whenever you have new medications or stop taking a medication.
Keep a list of what you take, with the dosage, and why you take it - in your wallet.
