It may make you drowsy. Give your memory some help if you have trouble remembering to take your medication. Reminders include daily or weekly pill boxes, watches with alarms, notes where you can see them, and computer calendar reminders. It may be helpful to take your medication at the same time you regularly perform other daily tasks, such as brushing your teeth, after meals or before bedtime. Do not run out of medication.
Request refills several days in advance.
If ordering medication by mail, leave enough time for delays in delivery. Take enough medication with you when going on vacation to last until you return. Carry a separate copy of your prescription and the phone number of your doctor so you can easily replace any medicine that gets lost. Don't keep pills in checked baggage when traveling by plane. Take them with you.
