I will ask my spouse, family member, or friend to help me to remember to take my medications

Remembering to take your medication(s) is a good way of reminding yourself that you are taking care of yourself. Your decision to fill prescriptions and take them as directed is a vital part of your care.

Asking a family member or friend for support with your medication regime may be a good idea for you. You may consider asking for help to:

pay for medications
pick up prescriptions
read labels
fill pill boxes
provide transportation to your doctor’s office or pharmacy

There are also other helpful tips and reminders in the section called I will use a pill box. There are many traditional (make a note for yourself) and sophisticated reminder systems (electronic pill dispensers with sensory alerts) available. Check them out—one of them might be a great fit for you!
