About medication reminders
Prompting your loved one to take their medicines at the right times, checking the pack, and noting if a dose is missed.
Questions families ask
What's the difference between a reminder and giving medication?
With a reminder, the carer prompts and your loved one takes it themselves. Giving medication means the carer handles it. Agree which, and write it down.
How can we make medication simpler?
Ask the pharmacist about blister packs and a medicines review. A simple chart by the kettle helps everyone.
What if Mum refuses her tablets?
A carer should never force them. They should let the family know, and the GP or pharmacist can advise.
