- W317310272 abstract "Taking medicine, the theme of this week's BMJ, is an experience shared by all of us at some point in our lives. For the lucky, medicine taking is confined to the odd painkiller. For others it involves accommodating complex and inflexible medication regimes into their daily lives (p 837). Assuming the right drug is prescribed in the first place, the success of medication relies on remembering when and how to take it (tablets and suppositories are all too easily confused—see p 863).MedicAlarm (www.medicalarm.co.uk) offers products designed so that you “never forget your medicine again!” They range from a beeping electronic pill box with a handy self contained slug of water, to a vibrating sports wrist watch “for everybody who does not want the world around him or her to know they are on medication.” That is, until your arm starts vibrating.For those with a greater sense of adventure, try the “Motivator Bedshaker” (www.globalassistive.com/motiv.html): connect it to an alarm clock and place it under your mattress where it will literally shake you awake. Quite miraculously it claims to wake even the heaviest sleeper without disturbing others, which must be a relief not only to your sleeping partner but also to the rest of the household.The next step from remembering your medication is actually taking it properly, which is especially challenging in children. Long gone are the days of Mary Poppins when “a spoonful of sugar” was all that was required to help the medicine go down (www.niehs.nih.gov/kids/lyrics/spoonful.htm). Children are more likely to take responsibility for taking medicine if they understand why they are taking it and how it works. Those with asthma can go to www.asthma.org.uk/kidszone to learn about asthma medicines and how they work, and find an easy guide to using inhalers properly. Parents of younger children who refuse to open their mouth for the choo-choo may find the tips on how to get kids to take medicines helpful at www.kidsmeds.com" @default.
