Help for Sticking to an Aspirin Regimen

If your doctor prescribed an aspirin regimen, following their advice is one of the easier ways to ensure you’re living your best heart-healthy life. But life gets busy, and it can be easy to forget to take your aspirin or other medications from time to time. To help, we’ve put together 6 Medication Reminder Tips. Briefly, they are:

1. Use a pill organizer: they give you an easy way to organize your daily aspirin regimen and other medications.
2. Set an appointment: use the alarm on your smartphone to alert you at the same time every day. Alternately, it may help to simply make taking your medicines part of another daily routine, such as having breakfast, for example. Just be sure to check with your doctor to be sure it’s safe to take your medicines with food.
3. Keep pills visible: you’re more likely to remember to take them if they’re not hidden away, but always make sure you keep them out of children’s reach and away from direct sunlight.
4. Post reminder notes: create a colorful “don’t forget your meds!” note that you can post in a place you won’t miss
5. Team up: ask a family member or friend you see daily to help you remember
6. Tech up: there are a number of watches or similar wrist-worn devices that can give you regular audio or silent (vibrating) medication reminders

Some of these may not exactly fit your lifestyle, but each is worth a try if it helps you remember. You may even want to try a combination of them so that if one doesn’t work on a given day, the other(s) provide a consistent backup.
