Top tips to help you remember to take your medicines

Daily routine
Make taking your medicines part of your daily routine by tying it in with a daily task such as having breakfast or watching your favourite show. If you regularly forget to take your medication or inhaler, keep it next to your toothbrush and take them before you clean your teeth in the morning/or night.
Get your family involved
Tell members of your family when you should be taking your medicines, so they can help to remind you if you do forget.
Store your meds in handy places
Keep medicines that are supposed to be taken with, or after food, in the morning by your kettle or toaster or near where you prepare food. Those that should be taken at night, keep them on your bedside table.
