Remembering tablets

I bought a really cool one from ebay Charleygirl, its a 7day mini pill box, colour coded with the day printed on the outside of each separate compartment, each one pulls out like a small drawer and has 4 separate segments labelled breakfast, lunch, dinner and bedtime. Its really neat and small and I can take a whole days tablets out in its compartment and carry it with me in my purse.

Of course you need to remember to check it when your pills are due a reminder alarm is a good idea too.

I do not have a tablet box- I take the drugs I need at breakfast and like you tanith again when I have dinner. Now Iam no longer injecting myself x2 a day and taking antibiotics, it is so much easier.

I just check my tablet box for that day I take meds with my breakfast and then again with dinner... its only when my routine is different that I might not check but that very rarely happens.

My OH is taking dozens of different tablets a day and in the end I bought him a watch that you can programme with details of what tablets you have to take when. This is the link you need: medicalarm.co.uk/index.php?main_page=products_all

The watch beeps when you have to take a tablet and the name of the medication appears on the watch face. Programming the watch takes quite a time as we have so many meds to enter, but once they are in that's it - until the doc changes the meds!

I am not sure whether you would consider this expenditure for a dog, but it may be that others might find it useful for their two-legged loved-ones.
