Back To School Time: Remember Your Medications

It is almost that time of year again. The time of backpacks, text books, and school lunches. Whether you are helping your child pick out new clothes for middle school, or packing up the car for their first year of college, it can be tough getting them prepared for a new school year especially when you need them to stay compliant with their medications.

Helping your child remember to take their medications is hard not only for the parent, but it can be an embarrassing time for the child. The last thing they want is their mom or dad constantly nagging them to take their medications. Another problem for the child is they do not want to be embarrassed or obvious about having to take medications, no matter what the medical issue may be.

A medication reminder from e-pill can be a great solution for a child and parent during the school year. The CADEX 12 Alarm medication reminder watch would be a great gift for a student. This watch will help your child remember when and what to take at the right times. Text messaging can be input into this device (up to 36 characters) and because this watch looks just like a normal sports watch, nobody will know that it is a medication reminder.

Another great feature of the CADEX watch is the Medical ID Databank. This allows one to input all of their vital medical information and can act as a medical ID band. This is great for students leaving for college because they can be discreet about their condition while keeping all of their vital information on hand in case of an emergency.

The e-pill MedTime XL Automatic Pill Dispenser is another option for your child going off to college. This will keep them organized and keep them on the correct medication schedule, even when they are far from home.

So let’s make this school year a little less stressful, and keep kids feeling confident, and more independent.

Summer Travel With Diabetes: Having Fun While Staying Healthy

The Summer is nearly over, (whoa that went fast!) But, it isn’t too late to plan a trip before the cool air starts coming in. Packing and planning a summer getaway can be a stressful for anyone, but when you have Diabetes it can be a little more trying. Here are a few tips that can help you to stop worrying about keeping your Diabetes in check, and keep you having fun.

-         Pack more medication than you need. ( Always better to have too much than too little)

-         Keep your medical information on hand ( The CADEX 12 alarm watch is great to take with you on trips and will hold all your emergency medical information)

-         Pack snacks to take on your trip in case your blood glucose drops or delays in flights.

-         Keep time zone changes in mind so you'll know when to take medication.

-         Find out where to get medical care if needed when away from home.

-         Keep meters, test strips and insulin out of direct sunlight.

-         Stay Hydrated.

These are just a few tips, but remember to listen to your body and stay healthy!

Helping A Loved One Accept A Medication Reminder

Being given a medication reminder can be difficult for some people to accept. No matter what age you are, what health condition you may be suffering from, the thought of placing something in your home to help you remember to take your medications can be tough for someone to swallow (no pun intended) .

This can be a tough situation for family member and friends. You want to care for your loved ones and make sure they are staying healthy and taking their medications at the correct time every day, but you don’t want them to feel belittled or disrespected. That person doesn’t want to feel like they need something to intrude on their life, they don’t want to feel they are too absent minded to remember to take their medications themselves. Of course, no one is at fault. Life happens, life gets busy and life gets complicated and having a medication reminder to help them get through the day is the best thing for them.

When you are faced with the difficult task of telling your loved one that they need something like an e-pill medication reminder to help them to remember to take the correct meds at the correct time, remember to be understanding and look at it from their perspective. Making sure that they understand it is in their best interest. This will help them live a happier healthier life.

ID Bracelet/Band : It’s Not as Bad As You Think!

FREE id-band with any size order from http://www.cadexwatch.com/!

As if dealing with a disease or health condition isn’t hard enough, now you have to display something for the whole world to see? The doctors tell you to wear a medical ID bracelet so in case of an emergency someone will know what medications you are on, what health conditions you may suffer from, allergies, and medical history, so that all the correct precautions are taken.

This of course makes perfect sense, but still after all the possible scenarios that could go wrong people still don’t comply with their doctor’s request. It is hard to wear something that will reveal to people you have a health condition, but not every ID bracelet has to be so revealing and obvious.

The e-pill CADEX watch is maybe the perfect solution for you. It looks like a regular sports watch, no big signs or words, just a regular looking watch..but it is actually much more. This watch has a regular watch face, but has an alert button which can be pressed to reveal one’s name, number, emergency contact, medical conditions, allergies, up to 12 medication reminder alarms, blood type, and more. This is a great watch because you are keeping your medical information all in one place, it is easily concealed as regular watch, and you can have up to 12 reminder alarms to take your medications daily.

Are Automatic Pill Dispensers Worth The Cost?

Whenever one is making a large purchase there is always a moment of, ” Is this worth the cost?”, “Do I really need to spend this much money?” ” Is this going to work?”. These are all normal thoughts to have, and when buying something to help a loved one you want to make sure you are doing the right thing more than ever.

When it comes to Automatic Pill Dispensers a lot of people are taken aback by the prices. The cost of purchasing an automatic pill dispenser can range from $300 to $1,000. Depending on what you are looking for the costs will vary.

Of course this is a large amount of money to spend to ensure your loved one is taken care of, but did you know that to have a nurse or caregiver give medications at specific times through the day can cost up to $900 a month? Another option would be to rent a machine instead of buying one, but that can cost up to $100 a month, which is $1,200 a year!
According to a recent study done by the NHS West Midlands the Two biggest areas of cost savings (achieved by using an automatic pill dispenser) were:

• Reduction in hospital admissions as a result of accidental over- and underdosing.
• Fewer home visits (needed) to remind people to take their medication.

The data collected in this study showed significant savings have been achieved. In total the participants generated savings of £431k, an average of £1,700 per person over a six month period (annual cost savings of $5,400 per each automated pill dispenser).

So when it is time to make that purchase, don’t fret! You are doing right by your loved one, and saving money in the long run.

Diabetes On The Rise

According to a new report out by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Diabetes in America could double or triple in cases over the next 40 years. It is reported that by 2050 one in three adults will have the disease, and primarily type 2 diabetes.

More and more people are contracting diabetes due to the way they are treating their bodies. Obesity has become a huge problem (no pun intended) in America.

There is also the fact that people are living longer with diabetes by staying compliant with their medications and having more control over their blood sugar levels. Doctors can also diagnose diabetes earlier on. The increasing number of overweight Americans has become a contributing factor to the rise of type 2 diabetes.

With side effects such as kidney failure, amputations, strokes, heart attacks, etc.. It is important to do everything you can to avoid getting this disease. Prevention is of course the best option, but if you already have diabetes the best thing to do is take your medication on time, and work on eating healthy and staying fit.

CVS CareMark: Medication Adherence Study

A recent study conducted by CVS, together with Harvard Medical and Brigham & Women’s Hospital highlights medication adherence for four common diseases: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and depression in 50 states.

In this study they layout the factors that undermine medication non-adherence among patients and will help identify solutions to health care professionals for medication non-adherence.

Non-adherence to every day medications has been seen as a major public health problem. Non-adherence can lead to worsening health which can increase overall health care costs. Through this research study it is hoped that what is learned will help with health care, and will also help health care professionals understand patient behavior and patient non-compliance.

Helpful Ways To Manage Your Parent's Medications

They took care of you your whole life, and now it is time that you take care of them.

As parents age, we as their children are faced with more responsibilities and tasks to make sure they stay as healthy as possible.

One of the tasks we may face is the organization and adherence of their medications. Whether you live close to your parents or far away, these tips can help keep your parents happy and healthy.



An Automatic Pill Dispenser May Be The Answer For your Parents.



 

 1. Make a list of all your parent’s medications and write a small description of what the prescription is used for. You can also request a "Brown Bag" Checkup with the local pharmacist . A Brown Bag checkup is when one will take all of their medications (OTC as well) and review them with their pharmacist.

2. Review your parent’s medications at each visit. Make sure the medications they are taking are not outdated and make sure all are refilled at the correct times. 

3. Consider getting a pill box timer or medication dispenser for your parents. This will keep them compliant and will help them avoid medication errors.  

For those whose parents live far away an e-pill MedSmart Plus may be a good idea. This is a monitored automatic pill dispenser that will alert you if after 60 minutes the dose was missed.

Helping a parent or parents manage their medications can feel like a huge burden, but by following these tips it doesn't have to be.

Asthma in the Spring

Spring is just around the corner and with beautiful spring flowers, comes not so pretty allergies. Asthma attacks and/or worsening of asthma symptoms can be triggered by seasonal allergies, which is why it is important to be prepared for the coming months.

The e-pill PuffMinder DOSER will track the use of medication taken from a Metered Dose Inhaler. It will alert you once there are less than 20 inhalations in your inhaler. This is a reliable and easy to use device that will help to ensure you are never stranded without inhaler medications.

Here are some more tips on relieving seasonal allergies:

-         Stay indoors on dry windy days.

-         Always remove clothes you have been wearing outside.

-         Keep windows closed and use air conditioning in the home.

-         If you have forced air heating or air conditioning in your house, use high-efficiency filters.

Make sure you are always educating them about the importance of dealing with the disease and working together will make it all the easier.  

Addiction To Pain Medications: Starting The Road To Recovery With E-Pill

A huge problem in today’s world is the addiction to prescription drug medications. I came across an article on Challenges Addiction Treatment and Relapse Prevention Center’s Website and found that in the United States, there are more people abusing prescription drugs than cocaine, heroin, and ecstasy combined.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, deaths caused by pain medication overdose has risen from less than 4,000 in the year 2000 to more than 11,000 in the year 2007. The Office of National Drug Control Policy also says that opioid abuse is the second-leading cause of accidental death in the U.S., after car crashes.

With statistics like this, it is important to recognize if you or someone you love is fighting an addiction to pain medications. There is an e-pill device that might be able to help. It is called the CompuMed and it is the most tamper proof automatic pill dispenser on the market.

Dealing with an addiction is a hard thing to overcome, but this machine could help to fight the battle. It is important to find someone who can be trusted to fill this machine for you each week, and keep the keys to the machine with them. It is completely tamper proof and will keep the person from getting inside to the pills. An e-pill CompuMed can change one’s life for the better.

If the CompuMed is too far out of your price range, you may want to try something like the MedSafe. The e-pill MedSafe is a digital medication lock box. This safe is not tamper proof like the CompuMed, but it uses a state of the art digital lock and does not come with keys. For more information on the MedSafe click HERE.

Beating an addiction is a hard thing to do, and now e-pill can help you or someone you know get on the road to recovery.
