building a routine.

Once you have your prescription, taking it as part of your daily routine is important. Here are a few handy tips that may help you remember:

• Use a pill organizer. It’s easy to check at a glance
• Combine it with an everyday activity. Take your medication at the same time as another routine activity like feeding your pet or brushing your teeth
• Set a recurring alarm. You can use your smartphone or an alarm clock in your home
• Ask someone to remind you. Sometimes just asking a friend or family member to call or text is all you need
• Put a note where you’ll see it. Write a reminder and put it on the refrigerator, your coffee maker, or your bathroom mirror
