Does your child take medications on a daily or weekly basis?
Do you find it hard to keep track of all the medications, dosages and times for child’s medicine?
Try developing a solid plan and schedule for your child’s medication needs.
Here are some ways to get started with your child’s medication plan.
How to Plan Your Medication
- Use Medicine Dividers – Ever try to organize medications in the medicine bottles? Yeah, not very ideal, right? Try using medicine dividers or organizers to pre-measure medication.
- Keep a Medicine Log – Make sure to keep a log of all your child’s medication times, dosages, and dates. Also, make sure to keep any extra notes along with the log.
- Build a Medicine Calendar – A calendar is a great way to track when your child needs their medications. Adding things like dates and times for each dosage will help you put together a routine for you and your child at medication time.
- Setup Those Refills– To avoid those times where you run out of medicine, try to set up automatic reminders or refills with your pharmacy. Most pharmacies offer this service free of charge. Contact your local pharmacy for more information.
By organizing your child’s medicine, logging dosages, using a calendar and using automatic refills, you will have the base for a great plan for your child’s medication needs.
