5 ways to simplify taking your medications

1. Routine reminder

Tie in taking your medications with daily activities. Pretty soon, taking your prescriptions could be as routine as your daily tooth-brushing!

2. Put your Rx on auto-pilot

There are so many ways to refill your prescriptions—via online, your phone or in the pharmacy. Skip a step and set your eligible medications on auto-refill! You can also create one account for your whole family, and refill each member’s prescriptions at once—even your pet’s!

3. Get texts about your Rx

4. Have it on-hand

Skip the monthly hassle—switch your refills from a 30-day supply to a 90-day, or have them delivered right to your home! Talk to your pharmacist and insurance company to see if your prescriptions are eligible.

5. Out of sight, out of mind?

Keep your medications in easy-to-see (but secure) spot as a visual cue. If you need to store your medicine in the refrigerator, post a sticky note on the fridge as a reminder to grab it when it’s time, or set an alert on your phone. Using a pill box to organize all your pills into daily doses are especially helpful for those taking multiple medications.
