Thanks to the advances of modern-day medicine, medications have become a life-saving tool, as well as a quality of life improvement for many people, especially those with chronic conditions.
That being said, medication is only as effective as the patient’s compliance with dosing instructions. The same can be said for daily supplements. This is why medication management is so important.
Properly managing your medications can lead to better compliance, that is, ensuring that you actually take what you need to at the right time every day. This ensures medications work properly, while also preventing medication interactions and errors, such taking the wrong dose or medicine, at the wrong time.
Proper medication management can also prevent the likelihood of misuse or dependency, while also decreasing the chances of ending up in the hospital due to improper medication use or other complication.
Appropriate medication management starts with organization, and luckily, this is an easy problem to solve. By simply going into your local drug store, you can find containers to store and organizing your medication, but there are more advanced options available.
Low-cost medication management
MEDca Weekly Pill Dispenser
The MEDca Weekly Pill Dispenser is a terrifically ergonomic option for daily pill users that features seven stackable containers for each day of the week, taking up little space in your medicine cabinet. With each container having a unique transparent color, it’s very to tell days of the week apart, as well as the different times of the day. In addition, this dispenser is light and easy to travel with, and as a result, worth the buy in my opinion, for under $10.
Lewis N Clark Travel Pill Organizer
If you’re frequently on the go, there is also a pill organizer for you.
