Tips and tricks for sticking to your medication routine
Tips and tricks for sticking to your medication routine
We understand that staying on track with your medications isn’t always easy—whether it’s due to side effects, cost, or mental health challenges. Here are some tips that can help.
Set reminders
Use a phone app (e.g Round, Medisafe, MyTherapy, Mango CARE), alarms, or ask a loved one to remind you.
Keep your medication in sight and in mind
Store your medication somewhere you'll see it every day (like by the kitchen sink), and keep a glass or bottle nearby so you're always ready to take it when it's time (for oral meds). Even better, pair with a daily habit: Link your medication to something you already do, like brushing your teeth or making coffee, and place your medication next to your toothbrush or coffeemaker.
Stay on schedule
Pill boxes are a great way to keep your medications organized and on schedule. They can be bought at local pharmacies, or you can request one from Curative Pharmacy for free!
Organization is key
Keeping a list of what each medication is for or treats can help you understand what it does to help your overall health.
Simplify medication pick-up
Ask your pharmacy about auto-fill programs, medication synchronization programs, and if your medications can be filled in 90-day supplies
Some pharmacies, like Curative Pharmacy and Costco, offer free delivery of your medication that will and will deliver your medication straight to your home!
Get your medication questions answered
If you have any questions about your medication from costs, to side effects, to being unsure of how to take it, reaching out to your pharmacist or your healthcare provider will give you the best answers and solutions.
In particular, if you’re struggling with side effects, keep track of when and what you feel.
Get updated tests
Especially for those medications that are working behind the scenes. Seeing improvements in your numbers (e.g., lower cholesterol or blood pressure) can show your progress.
Too many meds?
If you feel overwhelmed by the number of medications prescribed by different doctors, work with a single primary care doctor to do a review and spot overlap or issues. You can even bring all your meds to your next visit if it’s hard to remember them.
You don’t have to figure this out on your own.
That’s where your Care Navigator comes in.
Our team here at Curative is here to support you. We're available to help with finding options for medication delivery, talking through how to set up reminders, finding a new in-network doctor to manage your medications, or work through other concerns.
