Adding positive, healthy behaviors into your daily routine, alongside the medical recommendations and medications prescribed by your health care team, can help prevent and manage chronic conditions.
To help take your medications as prescribed, try these healthy routines:
Tie to an Existing Daily Routine
Put your pills or a note near your sneakers to ensure you take your meds before your morning walk.
Use a Pill Organizer
Fill it weekly so you know when to request refills.
Set Reminders
Use your phone, watch, or special apps.
Simplify Your Regimen
Talk to your provider about once daily or combination formulations.
Know Why You’re Taking Them
Regular reviews with your provider can help eliminate unnecessary prescriptions.
Speak Up!
If you have barriers to taking them, like side effects, the cost, or timing issues, let your provider know.
