Once you are taking five or more medicines, life can feel like a daily timetable. The good news is that a few simple habits make a real difference, and we are here to help you set them up.
Use a single source of truth
Keep an up-to-date list of every medicine you take, including over-the-counter products and supplements. Bring it with you to every medical appointment.
Pill organisers are not just for older people
A simple weekly organiser, filled once a week at the same time, removes the daily question of did I take that one? We can prepare these for eligible patients on request.
Ask for a medicines review
- A structured chat about every medicine and why you take it
- Often uncovers tablets that are no longer needed
- Free of charge for eligible NHS patients
Watch for new symptoms
A new tiredness, dizziness or rash that starts after a medicine change is worth mentioning. Sometimes the answer is a small dose adjustment.
You do not have to figure this out on your own. That is what your pharmacist is for.
