Medication Tracking Tips

​

1. Keep All Medications in One Place

Use a single drawer, basket, or shelf so nothing gets lost or duplicated.

2. Use a Weekly Pill Organizer

Helps prevent missed doses and accidental double‑dosing.

3. Create a Simple Medication List

Include:

• medication name

• dosage

• time of day

• purpose

• prescribing doctor

4. Set Reminders

Use:

• phone alarms

• SimpliTend reminders

• caregiver partner notifications

5. Track Changes Immediately

If a doctor changes a dose or medication:

• update the list

• update the pill organizer

• notify care partners

6. Watch for Side Effects

Document:

• dizziness

• confusion

• appetite changes

• sleep changes

Share updates with care partners or your doctor.

7. Review Medications Weekly

Check:

• expiration dates

• refill needs

• upcoming appointments

8. Communicate Clearly with Care Partners

Share:

• missed doses

• changes

• concerns

• doctor instructions

Clear communication prevents mistakes.
