01

Refill check: medications and pill organizer

· Count what's left of each medication, and request refills for anything under 10 days. · Refill the weekly pill organizer for the week ahead. · Any new prescription, dose change or stopped medicine this month? Update the written list.

02

Medicine cabinet clear-out

Twice a year: check expiry dates, and remove medicines you no longer take. The FDA lists safe disposal options, including drug take-back locations (many pharmacies have kiosks) and, for some medicines, household-trash or flush instructions on the label.

03

Update the medication list for family and caregivers

Every three months: make sure a current medication list (name, dose, time, prescriber, allergies) is somewhere family can find it, like your phone's Medical ID, the fridge door or a shared note.

04

Ask the pharmacist: a medication review

Once a year, ask your pharmacist or doctor to review everything you take together, including vitamins and over-the-counter items. Interactions and duplicates are easy to miss when several prescribers are involved.
