Seniors diagnosed with mild or chronic illnesses are usually prescribed to take several medications per day. These medications will allow them to manage or recover from their health conditions. But due to several factors such as forgetfulness, confusion, or living alone, they are susceptible to committing medication errors. That can result in adverse drug effects and frequent admissions to hospitals. To prevent this, having a companion who can assist and remind them of their medications is essential.
At the same time, here are some helpful tips for proper medication reminders and management for seniors:
- Use pill boxes to organize their medications each week to avoid confusion.
- Refill their medications in advance to avoid missing their doses.
- Set alarms to serve as reminders or notifications for the correct time of intake.
- Create labels for medicine bottles to easily distinguish them from drugs of similar names or appearance.
