Taking your medications is one of the most important things that you can do, along with seeing your physician. There are many things that can be done to help with adherence to the meds.
Try using a specialty pharmacy, but make sure you know your pharmacist wherever you go. Most pharmacies can help with refill reminders. If your regimen is too difficult for you to take, there are different options you can explore.
Other adherence ideas include:
1. Have the pharmacy put your meds in a blister card or shrink-wrap.
2. Put your meds in a day-by-day pill holder.
3. Set an alarm on your phone or computer to remind you.
4. Take your meds around events in your day that will remind you.
5. Move your meds to a place where you see them (for example, near your keys) each day.
6. Use a smart phone app to keep track of your meds.
