hen several different medicines were needed to be given over and over again, day and night, it was hard remembering if I had already given a certain medication or what time it had been. Well, except for the pain meds, you can tell with those. Some medications are needed only on weekends, some are needed at night, some every three hours, and some every four. I was so thankful when my husband showed me this app!
An app called “Medisafe” lets you put in the medication that is needed, including what days, what times and what dose. It then alarms you whenever it is time to give each medication. You can also connect people to the account so they can also give you a reminder if you happen to shut it off before you get to it. If someone else is watching your child and able to give meds, they can be added to the list and know what to give.
This app also gives you information about what each medicine does, how it works and if it has any additional side effects when combined with other medications.
What are your top tips for managing meds? Please share them in our community group! We would love to hear from you.
