Due to their old age and weakened health, most seniors are at risk of contracting mild to serious chronic diseases which require taking two or more medications simultaneously. Proper intake of medications is an important factor in their recovery and/or prevents the worsening of their health conditions. However, due to mobility and memory problems among the elderly, this often results to medication errors which may pose serious health risks and complications. Hence, medication reminders and assistance is vital to ensure that they take their medications at the right dosage and proper time.
With this, here are some useful tips to help manage their medications:
- Keep your medications visible and in a safe place that is easy to spot
- Set an alarm for your required schedule of intake
- Organize your medications using a pill box with compartments to prevent double doses
- Throw away expired medications and have your medication refilled in advance
