how to sort out the problem of finding out tablets name

[Guest guest]

My parents are aged and also heart patients who are taking variety of

medicines .They face a problem while taking the tablets.For example

when they start taking the tablets from a strip of 10 tablets after

taking 4 or 5 tablets they are not able to identify the tablets name

since the names were either too small to read or it is not

continuously printed. Especial the people are old and when they take

variety of tablets it becomes very dangerous .Can any one help to sort

out the matter with drug manufacturers?

I have nothing to do with the drug manufactures, but if your parents are

taking any of their medicines on a regular basis there are great pill boxes.

They cost around $8 here in the drug store, but sometimes you can find them

cheaper in other stores. They have a 7 day arrangement across the box and 4

rows down, labels (the 7 across) Sunday through Monday and the 4 rows down

are breakfast, lunch, supper and bedtime. This takes care of my Dad's

medicines just fine. I lay out his pills for one week at a time and we know

there is no mix up about what he has taken or if he has taken them and when

he has taken them. Hope this helps.

Yes pill boxes would b good idea.

Another simle way can b,to prchase some blank stickers from any

printing workshop or stationary shop.

 

You can write the name of the tablet/drug with big capital letters

using marker pen,and paste that stickers on the tablet strips and also

u can make the no. of small tiny circles for the no. of times that

drug has to b taken in 24hrs.Goodluck
