Almost half of adults over 65 in the UK take three or more medicines daily. Keeping on top of them does not have to be stressful, and a few small changes make a real difference to both safety and convenience.
Use a weekly pill organiser
A simple seven day organiser is the single most useful tool for anyone juggling multiple medicines. We can fill yours for you each week as part of our managed repeat service, which is free for eligible patients.
Keep an up to date list
Carry a printed list of your medicines, doses, and the conditions they treat in your wallet. It saves time at every GP, hospital, or dental visit, and is invaluable in an emergency. Ask us to print one for you any time.
Book a free medication review
The NHS New Medicine Service and Structured Medication Reviews are free at our pharmacy. A 20 minute conversation often surfaces interactions, side effects, or unnecessary repeats that your GP can adjust.
Set the same routine every day
Most missed doses come from a change in routine. Tying your tablets to a fixed daily anchor, such as brushing your teeth or making your morning tea, dramatically improves adherence.
If you ever feel unsure about a medicine, please ask. There is no such thing as a silly question.
