Common Medication Tracking Issues

Small pills are difficult to handle. Tiny pills can be difficult for anyone to handle, but especially for someone suffering from arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, or other illnesses that compromise joints or muscle control.

Missing doses. Traditional organizing systems like pillboxes may be practical, but there’s no way to set reminders to take the right dose at the right time. Not only does it create more work to have to set reminders elsewhere, but it can also be a recipe for missed doses.

Getting overwhelmed or confused with dosages and timing. Did I already take my blood pressure pill this morning? Did I forget to take yesterday’s dose? If you’ve ever asked yourself these questions, you’re not alone. It’s common for those on several medications to feel confused and overwhelmed with managing prescriptions, over-the-counter meds, and vitamins or supplements all at the same time.
