Foreverphamacy - Tips to never miss a dose

Medications should be taken regularly to make sure that you have an effective amount of drug in your body at all times. When medications are not taken regularly, the level of drug in the blood can become too low to effectively stop the virus from multiplying. This gives the virus a chance to mutate and become resistant to the effects of the drug.

If you look at the statistics, the number of people put on repeat medication in the UK alone exceed are 14.6 million, of which, 11.6 million are above the age of 65 years. It is known that 50% among these skip medicines and hence causing loss of £500 million every year (the percentage increases with both age and the number of medicines prescribed).

To make sure you never a miss a dose, we have few tips that will help you to take medicines on time:

1. Stick to repeat prescription service: Getting your private prescription delivery within the bounds of your home is one of the best options, since, this completely rules out the chances of you running out of the medicine. Repeat Prescriptions can be re-ordered without having to visit a doctor. A lot of online chemists in the UK provide this service and Forever Pharmacy is one of them.

2. Switch to a pill reminder app: Many companies have started to develop apps that are easily available on Google Play store and will remind you to take medication on time. Remembering to take pills has become easier with this latest app. Medisafe Pill Reminder & Medication Tracker is one such app that never lets you skip a single dose and even reminds you when to refill.
