Many Americans have fallen out of their normal routines and missed annual doctor appointments. Missing appointments can lead to people not taking their medication as prescribed by their doctor. It’s critical you stay on top of medication management, especially if you are managing a chronic condition.
Inside teamed up with RxSaver.com and their medical expert, Dr. Holly Philips, for tips on how to stay on track for your health.
Schedule appointments all at once
Try to book all routine appointments at the beginning of the year so the dates are taken care of in advance, Phillips says. Even if the appointment is six months from now, you’ll have it on the calendar and don’t have to worry about falling behind.
Set reminders
Schedule calendar reminders on your computer or phone so you know when a prescription is about to run out. You might also want to set daily reminders for taking your medication so you don’t forget a dose or take it late. The reminders can help you keep track of when you need a refill — especially if you need to see your doctor before that refill can be authorized.
