Tips, Gadgets and Devices for Remembering Your Medications​

Picture
Regardless of your medical diagnosis or symptoms, medications are often an essential part of treatment. They relieve pain, control inflammation, lower blood pressure, strengthen bones, relax muscles, improve sleep or mood, or modify underlying diseases processes. But they can’t do any of these things if you don’t remember to take them.
 
Sure, it is hard to forget your pain medication when your whole body is in pain, but some medications work best when taken before the pain escalates. Other medications don’t directly affect pain but are crucial to controlling an underlying disease process. And let’s face it, on a good day, taking medication may be the last thing you want to think about. But remembering and taking your medication regularly is important to long-term disease and pain control. 

Here are some tips and devices to jog your memory and make the process a little easier:
