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.

E-pill isn’t just a great medication reminder! Now the food industry wants in on the benefits we have all been receiving. They are starting to use the popular e-pill medication reminder known as the Multi-Alarm Pocket XL.

Depending on their color-coding system, different foods are to be changed at different times. The Multi-Alarm Pocket XL works great in these situations because of its ability to alarm up to 37 times on the hour and half hour. This gives the workers a reminder to check on the food items at the correct times throughout the day, without missing a beat!

Just as it is important to take your medication on time, it is important to make sure customers are receiving the freshest food. It is during those chaotic times at home, or in the kitchen, that the Multi-Alarm Pocket XL will help to remind you to stay on top of all your daily duties, whether it be taking your medication, or turning over food to maintain high food safety standards.
