It becomes increasingly difficult to keep track of daily pill intake. You can devise a system that makes it easier to follow doctor's orders. Every drug store carries handy compartmented pill holders. Each compartment has a day of the week as well as an AM and PM section, and is designed to hold a one week supply of your prescription medications. Once a week, fill the box with a 7 day supply of pills. When you take the pills, the empty section indicates that you have taken that day's medications.
