After that the only issue is remembering every three days to change her morphine patches.
I did this when my mom was on a lot of heavy duty stuff - didn't want her getting confused, it worked well.

Best thing since sliced bread - as they say. Only problem is, I'm about to depart for a week's holiday and will have to take one extra of everything!

Re: Pill Boxes

I also use one of these Plastic type pill boxes for 7 days a week, I wouldn't be without it, as I take 9 tablets a day at different times of the day.

I bought mine from the Poundshop.

What on earth is a 'dossett box' ? Well, someone had to ask!

Re: Pill Boxes

My Dad had to take so many of them each morning, all shapes and colours, to make sure he didn't miss out on taking one he always buttered two slices of bread and put the lot inside to make a sandwich, problem solved.
