Why a pillbox may not work anymore
Pillboxes or medisets are excellent, low-cost medication management tools. However, for individuals who are having a hard time remembering to take their medications, confuse medication dosing times or have dexterity issues; pillboxes may be inadequate. Consider the following questions on whether a pillbox is appropriate:
- Can the individual remember to take their medication on time?
- Can the individual open the pillbox and dispense their medication?
- Should the individual have a week of medication available (overdose)?
- Does the individual take the right day and time when using a pillbox?
