Mt Prospect IL)  Wendy H. “Thank you for the smart pill box .  Taking care of my Dad  is much tougher than we thought it would be.  . We tried several different style pill boxes for my Dad. In January our visiting nurse showed us the MEd-Q Smart Pill box for Mom.  We watched the videos and thought this is the pill reminder that would solve our problems”.  The other pill boxes were nothing more than a pill organizer.  He needed aa Alzheimer’s pill alarm.

A loud alarm will sound when it was time to take them.  Your Medication Timer will light up the box holding that dose pills. No decisions means no mistakes.  Wendy for Mt Prospect said that the Smart Pill Box has kept her Dad Independent and living at home.

If the person remembers that they take pills, what they are for, and is generally cooperative.  Forgetting and overdosing is truly mistakes and most seniors greatly accept the help.  If the person has dementia and can’t even remember that they take pills, that is harder. At that point you should consider whether the person can live alone.  At least the MED-Q Smart Pill Box for Dad will monitor  pill taking.

If you can’t remember whether you took your medication, what do you do?

What happens if you don’t remember if you took your medications?  When one is not sure if you took a pill, never, ever just take another dose yet. What could happen if you double dose?  If someone ingests an additional dose, the consequences can be deadly. In fact, an extra dose can raise the risk of harmful effects. Check your pill organizer, count the remaining pills in the bottle, or review the instructions that came with your prescription to find specific guidance. 

doctorHealth care profsionals are in agreement, “For most medications, it is safer to accidentally miss a single dose than to double dose” . Keep in mind that the pill/dosing guidelines vary drastically depending on the medication.  For example, it is different for  blood thinners or something like birth control.), it is always best to double-check with a professional.  If in doubt, call the local pharmacy you got the prescription filled.  Also, call e the America’s Poison Centers at 800-222-1222 .  This can help if you are concerned about over dosing.

pill box for seniors

If you take oral tablets or capsules, you can count how many pills you have left. If you know when you started taking the pills out of that prescription bottle, this could help you determine whether you’ve taken your dose for that day.

Sometimes, when you haven’t taken your medication, there may still be time to take that dose. However, this could depend on the drug and dosing schedule.

Although in some cases, if it’s almost time to take your next dose, your doctor may recommend skipping the missed dose and taking your next dose at its regular time. Never take two doses at once to make up for a missed dose as doing so could raise your risk of side effects.

What happens if you accidentally take your medication twice?

Do not take more of a drug than your doctor prescribes. While serious side effects may be rare, for some medications, taking more than the recommended amount may lead to harmful effects or overdose. Some of the most dangerous medications to double-dose include:

  • heart maintenece medications
  • ADHD drugs, for example “Adderall”
  • medications for Type 1 Diabetes
  • prescription narcotic pain pills
  • psychiatric medications , for example “Wellbutrin.”

If you have any doubt, act quickly. 

Fist of all, contact your doctor right away.  Let them know you may have accidentally taken two doses or three doses of your daily medication. They will offer up advice.  The Healthcare profesional can often advise of what steps to take.  Also, they will let you know about symptoms to watch out for.
