It's important to take pills on time and according to directions. People with arthritis often are prescribed more than one medication to control symptoms and disease progression such as anti-inflammatory drugs, pain medications, disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs, muscle relaxers, sleep aids and more.
If you have multiple medications with various directions, it can be hard to keep straight unless you have something that serves as a pill reminder. Some people use a pill box. Others set an alarm. You can also write out a daily pill regimen. What do you use as a pill reminder? What Works for You?
