If you often take medication, you may get confused or forget something. Which one should I take again and when? There are a lot of useful apps that can help you to keep an overview.
The best medicine reminder apps
There are dozens of apps in the App Store and in the Google Playstore that, among other things, help you remember when to take your medication. We have listed the most useful.
MedApp Medicine Alarm Clock
With MedApp Medicine alarm clock you can set medicine alarms, view package leaflets, consult intake schedules and find medicine and price information.

Pill Buddy
The Pill Buddy app works together with a pill box. You can store your medicines in the colored compartments of this box. You enter your medicines by color in the app and indicate what time they should be taken. That way, you’ll be notified when it’s time to take the medication. The app also keeps track of your stock and tells you when you need to reorder. At Pill Buddy you can give others access to the app, for example the caregiver.

Do the app check first
Before you download a healthcare app, it is important to check whether the app you want to use is reliable. That is why it is always useful to find out who the provider of the app is. A pharmacy or other medical facility makes sense and often the safest option. It is also not unwise to read the reviews of other users, so you can immediately see what the pluses and minuses of the app are.
