Medicines only work when they are taken correctly and stored properly. If you take more than one prescription, a little organisation goes a long way.
Storing your medication
Most tablets and capsules do best in a cool, dry cupboard away from direct sunlight. The bathroom is often the worst place because of heat and humidity from the shower.
Using a weekly organiser
A pill organiser is a small change that reduces missed doses dramatically. We can set one up for you and refill it every week as part of our monitored dosage service.
Everyday habits that help
- Fill your organiser at the same time each week
- Keep it out of reach of children
- Take a photo of your current medication list on your phone
- Bring old or unused medicines back to us for safe disposal
When to speak to us
If you notice a side effect, feel unsure about a new medicine or want a full medicines review, book in with our pharmacist. There is no charge for a chat.
