Tablet Storage For Vacuum Sealed Tablets

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Hornchurch, UK

In the past I've stored my tablets in a tablet box, but recently I've been moved to Sodium Valproate which is stored in little vacuum sealed compartments, only to be removed just before taking.

Has anyone got any tips on storing these tablets in a way I can monitor taking them?

Smart Phone Medication Reminder App

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Vancouver, WA

My son needs a better way to remember to take his meds. They are effective when he takes them, but it is easy to forget, especially when things get busy. We are looking for a Smart Phone app that would help. We would especially like one that 1) gives reminder notifications to take his med, 2) logs when he takes it and 3) notifies someone else if he does not mark his med as taken within a set amount of time. So far it looks like Medisafe and MangoHealth may do this. Anybody have any experience… read more
