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 Make sure the medications they are taking are not outdated and make sure all are refilled at the correct times. 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.
