Taking Medication
You may need help if you experience difficulties taking or remembering your prescribed medicines:
- Help for you or for your relatives or carers if they are helping you
- Someone to remind you to take your medicine
- An electronic pill dispenser that has an alarm to remind you
- If you are already in receipt of a homecare package you can ask your provider
- Your doctor or chemist may be able to help by providing your medicine in a dosset or blister pack
- Electronic medication reminders can be purchased privately. You can search for them on ChooseMySupport
