Managing Your Medications over Christmas

Plan for a Healthy Christmas

To ensure you’re well-prepared for the holiday season, start with these simple steps:

 

• Check Your Supply Early: Make sure you have enough medication to last through the holidays, especially if you're travelling. Avoid last-minute stress by refilling prescriptions well in advance.
• Organise Your Medications: Tools like dosette boxes can help you stay on track by sorting doses by day and time. If you're interested in this service, speak to our team for more information.
• Make a List: Write down all your medications, including dosages and schedules, and keep it handy in case you need to consult a healthcare professional or refill your prescription while away.

 

Keep Your Routine Consistent

The holiday rush can easily disrupt your routine. Stay consistent by:

 

• Setting Alarms: Use reminders on your phone to ensure you don’t miss a dose, even on busy days.
• Planning Around Meals: If your medication requires food, time your doses with Christmas meals to keep things simple.
• Avoiding Interactions: Some medications shouldn’t be mixed with alcohol, so always check labels or consult with us for advice.
