Our selection of medication management aids can be
rather overwhelming. If you're struggling to make a choice,
consider:
Likelihood of medication-related mistakes
How likely are you to make mistakes (due to memory
problems, complexity of schedule, etc.)?
Seriousness of medication mistakes
How serious would these mistakes be? (This varies
with type of medication)
 |
Would they disrupt your household? |
|
Would they land you at the doctor's/hospital? |
Freedom from worry about medications
How much value do you place on peace of mind? (not
having to worry about messing up, not having to wonder whether you
took pills, etc.)
Lifestyle fit with medication system
What kind of system fits your needs, preferences,
lifestyle?
|
How easy would the system be to use? |
|
How
reliable? |
Relative cost of different medication management options
How
much do you want to spend?
The right medication solution for you
There is no one "perfect" solution to managing
medications. What you are looking for is an approach that works for
you.
Improperly taken medicines can do more harm than good.
Fortunately, this is a risk you don't need to take.
