Managing multiple medications can be challenging. Missing a dose or taking the wrong one at the wrong time is a common problem, especially when managing several prescriptions. Medisafe is a free app that helps you stay on track.
With Medisafe, you enter each medication — its name, dose, and the times you take it. The app then sends a notification at each scheduled time reminding you to take it. After you take a medication, you tap a button to confirm. If you miss a dose, the app can send an alert to a designated caregiver or family member through a feature called the MedFriend.
Medisafe also tracks potential drug interactions. If you add two medications that may interact badly, the app flags the concern so you can bring it up with your doctor or pharmacist.
The app includes a refill reminder feature — it watches your supply and alerts you when you are running low so you can call in a refill before you run out. You can also log blood pressure, blood sugar, or weight if your doctor wants you to track these alongside your medications.
Medisafe's free version covers all essential medication tracking. The premium version (about $4.99/month) adds more detailed health reports and additional tracking options.
This app is available on iPhone and Android and is one of the most widely recommended medication apps by pharmacists and healthcare professionals.
