Medication Reminders and Pill Boxes
Taking medications correctly and consistently is not an easy task but new technology makes it much easier to accomplish.
It’s always a good idea to have all of your meds organized and ready to be taken for the entire week.
Everyone knows that 7-day plastic pillboxes are real time-savers. Pillboxes can also help reduce hand pain by a factor of 7 or more! Think about it… If you have arthritis, you can reduce the number of times you have to twist open your pill bottles just by using pillboxes. You only have to open each bottle once to fill all the compartments for a whole week. This is much easier on the hands than doing it several times daily to take those same doses.
As with any system, it’s extremely important to have everything set up properly. OnTimeRx provides the easiest and safest way to correctly fill each compartment of your weekly pill boxes. Once a week line up all of your medication bottles on the table or counter and use your OnTimeRx reminder schedule as a dosing reference. It's simple to load each compartment with the pills you need to take for each dosing time. What could be easier?
As convenient as pillboxes are, most don’t tell you when it’s time to take your meds, so it’s still pretty easy to forget and you may find a bunch of pills are still in the pillbox the next day. While pillboxes make good organizers, they are not reliable compliance tools. Reliable reminders are always helpful, no matter how you organize your pills.
Here’s something else that OnTimeRx can help with. Doctors and nurses always ask what medications you’re currently taking. It’s difficult to remember everything under the best of circumstances, but under time pressure or in an emergency, it’s very easy to forget one or two medications. This can have serious consequences.
Did you know that OnTimeRx also can be used to maintain your current medications list, and compile your personal health history?
Very few patients bring a printed meds list, but OnTimeRx users can quickly print out a current medications list before each doctor appointment. If you maintain this information in the OnTimeRx desktop program or in your online health profile, it only takes a matter of seconds. You can also print any pertinent 911 info. With an OnTimeRx online profile it’s also quick and easy to keep your data and medication list up-to-date. This normally tedious job is very simple if you have all of your current medications recorded in OnTimeRx.
OnTimeRx is recognized and respected as an easy-to-use reminder system that works on many platforms and devices. It has been helping thousands of users every day since it was first launched in 2000.
