Organizing Your Medications

Whether you have a liver condition like I do, or some other health issue for which you need to take multiple medications, there is a website that makes it a snap to keep track of your meds.  You just need an email address and a password to create a sign-in.  Then choose your medications (name brand and generic options are all listed).  If you want them in a certain order, you can drag them around (alphabetical or by prescription vs. over-the-counter for example).  Go to the next step following the super-easy navigation and your list is there!  Click the drop-downs for the number of times you take it per day or what time and you're done.  Save it with whatever name you want (My Meds, Sue's Meds, etc.).  Then you can print the list, print a schedule, or even a little wallet card.  Get rushed and forget to take your meds?  Click to set up a reminder and you'll get an email or text message reminding you to take them.  I love the reminders, and trust me--your doctor's office will appreciate the printed list when you hand it to them at your next appointment.

My Med Schedule

The website is sponsored by a company that manufactures anti-rejection medication for transplant recipients, but they do not restrict others from using the site.  I got information on the site from the company when they sent a big box of resources to me when I was put on the transplant waiting list.  The pill box alone is a great freebie!
