From the American College of Physicians:
The following tips can be shared with patients to
help them remember to take their medications:
• Take at the same time each day.
• Take when you do other routine activities (e.g., eat meals, get
ready for bed).
• Store in a pill container with days of the week.
• Keep a dose in a purse, briefcase, or pocket.
Create a reminder system for doses that are
especially hard to remember—for example, a watch with an alarm clock, an
electronic reminder through your computer at work, or a sticky note where you
will be sure to see it at the appropriate time.
