Remembering to take meds can be a challenge in the best of times. When life is chaotic, or routines change, it\u2019s more difficult to stay on track with a daily pill.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many different life transitions that disrupt daily routines, but becoming a mother is arguably one of the most challenging. It\u2019s easy to forget a dose while in the throes of sleepless nights, near-constant feeding of a newborn, and perpetual diaper changes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For new mothers who take prescription medication, or even over-the-counter medications, it\u2019s important to stay consistent and find simple ways to keep track of what pill you\u2019ve taken, and when. Relying on memory when taking prescription drugs is never advisable, but combining <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sleep deprivation and slight postpartum memory loss<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is especially unhelpful.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cS<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tudies have shown that it is difficult to remember to stay compliant with any medication that is dosed more than once per day,\u201d says <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Danielle Plummer<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Pharm.D., a pharmacist who specializes in supporting women with hyperemesis gravidarum, a form of extreme morning sickness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remembering to take meds matters<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The added pressure of taking care of a newborn makes it even more challenging to remember medications, but remaining consistent is crucial for the mother\u2019s health and will only aid in her ability to parent, <a href=\"https:\/\/hgpharmacist.com\/\">Dr. Plummer<\/a> says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is especially true of prescriptions taken for mental health, such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/conditions\/depression-treatment-and-medications\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">depression medication<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/conditions\/anxiety-treatment-and-medications\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">anxiety medication<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cMost medications must be taken every day in order to keep a steady level of this medication in your bloodstream,\u201d says <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.drcarole.com\/home.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carole Lieberman, MD<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a California-based psychiatrist.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Lieberman says that taking medications inconsistently can lead to a variety of negative side effects, from not getting the full therapeutic effect, or even experiencing symptoms breaking through\u2014such as suicidal ideation or a spike in blood pressure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>RELATED: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/perinatal-depression-antidepressants\/\"><b>When pregnancy and depression happen at the same time<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3 Postpartum medication reminders<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Try a pill box.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both Dr. Lieberman and Dr. Plummer say that the simplest and easiest solution for remembering to take medication is purchasing a pill box. With a pill box, there\u2019s no guessing, mixing up doses, or trying to remember if a pill was taken already that day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis way you can check the pill box at the end of the day to make sure you didn\u2019t miss any doses,\u201d Dr. Lieberman says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Purchase a pill box that works for your needs, whether that\u2019s one with a variety of daily compartments, or just one daily compartment, says Dr. Plummer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Create a reminder system.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Plummer also suggests setting an alarm on your smartphone or smart watch, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/best-medication-reminder-apps\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">downloading apps, such as Medisafe or Mango Health<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or having paper sheets and calendars for more tactile learners.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Talk to your pharmacist.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many pharmacies are now developing technologies and programs to help people stay compliant. If you\u2019re expecting a baby, or know that you\u2019ll be experiencing a major life change that will disrupt your routine, talk to your local pharmacist about ways to stay compliant during your life transition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Struggling to remember prescription medication is not uncommon, but there are plenty of supportive tools available to keep you consistent, allowing you to transition into motherhood more smoothly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>RELATED: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/birth-control-after-pregnancy\/\"><b>What to know about birth control after pregnancy<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Six in ten people in the U.S. take prescription medication, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.
