Medication noncompliance is a huge problem in the US. Whether they admit it or not, most people have trouble remembering to take their medications on time - no matter what their age.

Managing medications is even more stressful for caregivers because they are responsible for maintaining the medication schedule of an ailing family member - as well as their own.
Reminders are very helpful and one of the best online reminder services is OnTimeRx.com. It provides a free 30-min phone reminder trial and free email reminder scheduling for everything from daily medication doses to doctor appointments, and refill reminders.

Reminder products come in many "flavors" - from high tech to very low tech. The simpler - the better - in most cases. That's why the 7-day pillboxes are so popular. But it also helps to get a reminder when it's time to take those pills out of the pillboxes. An automated phone call may be all that's needed, but Palm or Windows Mobile PDAs and smartphone users can have the best of both worlds. With OnTimeRx reminder software onboard, they can also log each dose when it's taken. Free trials are available for all hand held devices and Windows XP and Vista PCs.
