At-home care is becoming a reality for many baby boomers as they age, and children are moving in with parents to help them along as they age all over the country. In some cases of early dementia or other organic brain issues, maintaining adherence to a strict medication schedule can become a real challenge.
The Importance of Following A Schedule
The reasons that a strict schedule is needed for most medicines varies by the kinds of pills you take. Some medicines need to be taken early in the morning for optimal results, and others are purposely scheduled at bedtime, often because that medicine is known to cause drowsiness. Many medicines taken for control of blood sugar need to be taken at a specific time that revolves around the meals of the day.
Some medicines must be taken on a full stomach, while for other pills, it is imperative that they must be taken on an empty stomach in order to work correctly.
Drug interactions with other medicines are another important factor that needs to be considered. Many medicines interact negatively with some other commonly prescribed medicines – sometimes these interactions mean that the pills might work too well or too strongly when exposed to other medicines, and other times certain medicines interact with others in a way that makes both of the medicines not work as well as they should when accidentally taken at the same time.
All of this is confusing to the laymen, and it gets muddier when more than one doctor is prescribing various drugs – so they may not realize that there is a potential drug interaction that could potentially take place.
Get The Help You Need, Every Day
Even with the help of doctors, nurses, and pharmacists, complicated drug lists can have unintentional interactions between drugs, or have drugs given at times that end up making the person on the medication too restless at night or too drowsy during the time they normally want to be awake and alert. This is particularly dangerous when people need to drive or work around heavy machinery that could cause harm to themselves or others if taken at the wrong time.
The Hero drug administering device works hard to prevent these kinds of mistakes that are made every day, even when medical professionals have reviewed the list of pills one person is taking. Because a network of well-trained people is teamed up with computers to prevent these mistakes, the Hero makes sure that your drugs are given at the appropriate times so that you are safe, and also so you are benefitting from your pills as much as possible.
Pills are administered at the exact right time, and you or your assigned caregiver are notified on your smartphone or computer, as well as when the Hero delivers the doses that you need throughout the day. If there are any problems or questions that come up as new pills might be prescribed (like antibiotics and other short term pills that you might need to take concurrently with daily meds for just a short while) there are several failsafe operations at work with your Hero to make sure all of your medicines interact (or do not interact) in the best way for you.
Also, there is a 24-hour helpline for any questions or problems that your membership covers, to make sure you or your caregiver fully understands your drug list and gives everything to you at the right times.
