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.

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.
