Dealing with Medication

We’ve encountered a number of problems as far as dealing with medication is concerned. Today, I’d like to talk about was to store and organize the huge amounts of lupus medication you may have sitting around.

Since we have small children around, one of the first things that I did was to buy a small safe. I know that seems extreme, but I got it on sale at Harbor Freight on sale for $30. We had been keeping everything on a shelf in a cupboard with a child safety lock, but I decided to go with the safe for a number of reasons.

  • Many lupus medications are deadly if taken in excess or with other medications.
  • You would be surprised how some of this medication, especially the narcotics, can suddenly sprout wings and disappear. We’ve never had a whole bottle stolen, but we noticed a few pills missing here and there when we would travel or had lots of people in the house. I know that’s sad, but it is true.
  • I think it makes a difference for the kids to understand that the medicine that mommy takes is not like the medicine that they take when they get sick. By putting it all in the safe, they know that it’s dangerous.

Now that the medication is stored safely, you need to have a way to organize it so that you can keep track of it throughout the day, without spending too much time on it.

We have tried a number of pill organizers over the years, but the MED SUN 7 Day Large Medication Planner that we use right now, has been the best of the lot. It has seven large detachable bays with sliding tops that are labeled with the days of the week. Each bay has four compartments to place medication that is taken at different times during the day. All of the bays fit into a tray with a lid that keeps everything together for the week if you are traveling.

My wife and I sat down and went through all of her medication and I typed up the name and dosage information and put it on the top of the lid so that we don’t get confused about what she’s taking. I don’t know about your situation, but my wife’s medication gets changed often.

I usually put together all of the medication for the week and then my wife takes out her medication for the day and will carry that around with her. Having to do it only once a week makes it easier for us. It also helps to keep track of what medication needs to be refilled. If a particular medication is going to run out during a week, then I take the bottle out of the safe and set it on my dresser to remind me to refill it.

I hope that this was helpful. Please feel free to contribute some ideas on how to deal with stuff like this, and thank you for your support over the past few weeks.

    You have a really good system going there. I am going to look for one of those containers. I have one that is similar from a pharmacy but it doesn’t have a different color for each day like the one your wife has. That would really help me in those times that I am rushing out the door and don’t have time to figure out first what day today is, then which set I need to take. I was also thinking about buying a single day container and putting an extra set of pills in my purse because some days I leave the house thinking I’ll be back before my next dosage time but I don’t make it. So if I have those extras that’s one less thing to worry about. Thanks for the tips.

    Thats a great system for the medications.

    Great Idea bout the BIG safe. What do you do when you travel? We dont let the maid clean our room if we stay in a hotel for longer than a day. Or, my wife will take her medicine (BIG bag) with us everywhere.

    Also, sad about the narcotic-type – My wife’s teenage brother stole 2 out of her 20 pills just minutes after coming home from a major surgery. While I was walking her in the door and getting her settled on the couch, he was stealing the pills. Even 3.5 years later, we still cant trust him.

    Thanks for the tips! Great website!

    Travel can be a real headache. Jenny will often keep her medicine with her if we are only out for a day or two. If it’s longer than that I try and keep it locked in the car or in a small cash box with a lock.

    It’s great that you have taken the measures to secure the medication. Great idea to get a safe. Perfect answer to keeping your children from being harmed.
