How not to forget your medication: 6 practical tips
Small habits that help you take every dose on time, even when you take several medicines.
- 1
Link it to a routine
Taking your medication at the same moment every day, such as breakfast or bedtime, helps turn it into a habit.
- 2
Use reminders
A phone alarm alerts you at the exact time. In MIVOR, each dose has its own reminder, even with the app closed.
- 3
Mark every dose
Recording that you have taken it avoids doubts like "did I take it today?" and double doses.
- 4
Keep an up-to-date list
Write down what you take, how much and when, and show it to your doctor at every visit.
- 5
Plan for trips
Take extra medication and adjust the times if you change time zones, following your doctor's advice.
- 6
Ask your family for help
A family member can support you and get an alert if a dose is missed.
