With my birthday candles filling up my cake, it seems that my medicine cabinet is filling up, too.  More than once, I’ve driven to work and realized that I forgot to take my morning medicine.  Keeping a “stash” of my essentials in the glove compartment makes me nervous.  What if the kids get into the medications?  Will the pills be effective if they get too hot?  Then I started a system on my paper calendar, marking it morning and night after taking my doses.  That system lasted about a week, until I got tired of doing it, and started missing doses again.  I love apps that help me save time and money, which is exactly what Medisafe does.  This free app keeps track of even the most complicated medication schedules. With a simple notification,  you can put the calendar and sharpie away!

Some of you may have the opposite problem, like my husband. He will sometimes wonder aloud, “Did I already take my blood pressure medication?”  It has become such a habit that he no longer remembers doing it!   The app helps you to organize your dosage and times so that such musings become a thing of the past.  Caregivers pay special attention here — you can set up the account to notify you if your elderly parent forgets an important medication.

Adding medication to your profile is super simple.  It’s nearly impossible to remember how to spell all of my medications, so I’m grateful that Medisafe knows what it is right away. I typed in the beginning of the word, and it popped right up.  I was able to select my dosage amount, regularity, and time to take it.  Within seconds, I had my reminder set up! This is a great app to offer to college kids who need the reminder to take an antibiotic or other medication throughout the day. After all, the app was created by family members who care about each other.

Medisafe can also correlate your other vitals with your medication, helping you keep better track of your health.  Glucose levels, blood pressure, and other measurements can be recorded on the app.  By aligning these with your health goals, Medisafe creates a whole-health atmosphere right on your phone. Share the news about Medisafe with your friends and family!   Ready to make your life a little easier? Download the free Medisafe app right now.  It’s available on the App Store and Google Play.
