How can you tell if someone is not managing their medicine correctly?

Question:
How can you tell if someone is not managing their medicine correctly?
Answer:
There are a few things to look out for if someone you know isn't managing their medicines safely:
  • containers emptying too quickly or slowly compared to directions on labels

  • medicines getting lost

  • containers all over house with no apparent system

  • they seem unusually tired, dizzy, sick or confused

  • having to order medicines more than once a month

If you think someone might need help, then show or tell them some of the information here, or better still, talk to your local pharmacist.
