I'm not sure if I've already taken my meds, today...should I...

Doctor´s orders are always to skip as taking twice the amount could be dangerous. But it is better to take them at different hours, but on a routine, than to skip them. I have to take 2 pills in the morning. I take them with my first sip of coffee, no matter at what hour. I also have one of those cheap pouches with days of the week and even times of the day.

When I am in that situation I choose to skip my medication. Of course it isn't a good thing to skip the medication, but it can be dangerous to take more medication than you are supposed to. It isn't always dangerous, it also depends on the type of medication and the difference between your dosis and the maximum dosis per day for instanse if your normal dosis is 20 mg and the maximum dosis by day is 60 mg, it is not going to hurt you to take 40 mg, but it is usually safer not to experiment with those things and is better to skip the medication if you are in doubt. My husband and I were sometimes in doubt if he had taken our medication and we bought a calendar where we wrote our initials when we had taken our medication. It worked okay for a while, but today we don't use a calendar anymore..

Well, this is the main reason why you should put your meds with your routine. Like example, I take mine after breakfast just before going to work, well after breakfast I need to brush my teeth so I put my meds near my sink. Likewise, my mom takes her meds before breakfast, so she puts the meds on the dining table. There are some who use those containers with daily prints like M T W Th F Sa Sun on top of each of the compartment. So you'd see if you'd taken it for the day or not. Another would be to set your phone alarm for the exact time of the meds. There are a lot of ways if you're thinking about the implications of missing the meds. Have a great MyLot experience ahead!
