Coping with different medications
It's important that you take:
- the right medication
- the right amount
- at the right time
If you have a lot of tablets to take it can be confusing.
It's easy to get tablets mixed up, or forget how many to take.
This can be dangerous.
A tablet dispenser can help to remind you.
Tablet dispensers
You can buy a dispenser from your local chemist.
Your tablets can be put into different sections of the dispenser.
The sections are labelled with days and times to help you keep track.
If you find it difficult to fill the dispenser, ask a friend or relative to help.
Your pharmacist may fill the dispenser for you, or show you how to do it.
