I have to share the awesome app I use to negate this issue!
itâs called Medisafe and itâs a free app available in the app store or on google play and it allows you to input all your medications and:
-choose the shape, color, and dosage of each medication (including indicating if itâs an injection or a pill or an inhaler)
-notate the dosage and/or # of pills
-each time of day/night it needs to be taken
-add food or other special instructions
-schedule refill reminders
-add a med-friend (someone who will be notified if you forget to take it!)
The interface is great and iâve found it very easy to use. Â You can also add meds to take âas neededâ so you can indicate that youâve taken an out-of-time painkiller or booster pill etc.
When itâs time to take your pills it uses the text-notifcation noise on your phone to alert you- so itâs lowkey, but (usually) unmissable. Â When itâs time, you have the option to snooze, dismiss, or take pills. Â OR you can just shake your phone to indicate that youâve taken them (I usually either snooze or shake the phone).
It tracks your progress too and you can export yourself an excel spreadsheet of your pill taking to give your physician etc if needed.
You can set the snooze time manually, the maximum number of alarms, all kinds of things- you can set your own alert sound too if you donât want it to use your text-notification.
I am TERRRRRRRIBLE about remembering pills (seriously, I forgot for 3 weeks). Â I havenât missed a dose since I started using it and itâs fantastic.
