Medication
Extras

Organising medication can sometimes be difficult for people who are becoming more forgetful.

To assist with this many pharmacists will put medication into "Dosset Boxes". 

A dossett box is used for storing prescribed medicine and tablets. It is normally a hard plastic grid with sliding clear plastic windows that are labelled with days of the week.

A dosset box enables the user to take tablets at regular intervals or enables a carer to make sure that person they are caring for takes the right tablets at the right times.

Assitive Technology may help with reminding people when medication is due.
