For those who have to take their medication when they are not at home, forgetting to pack them seems to be a common problem.
That's why I tell patients to pack a spare. If you're on long term medication. It's best to keep two sets of your Rx in your bag/wallet just in case you happen to forget to pack your medication. This set should only be used 'in case of emergency' and you should still pack a set to use daily.
There are lots of ways to keep spare meds:
- pill boxes
- key chains
- altoid tins (line with saran wrap or tissue)
Salud!
