Medication Tips for the Holiday Season

Written By Anna Salerno

The holiday season often brings travel, family time, and changes to everyday schedules. This can make it easy to slip out of your normal routine. If you take medications for chronic conditions, staying consistent is one of the best ways to manage and protect your health. Missing doses can lead to symptoms returning or becoming harder to control. 


Here are a few tips to help you stay on track: 

  • Set reminders on your phone for your medication times. 

  • Pack medications in a clear labeled pouch or pill organizer. 

  • Keep medications somewhere visible in your daily space. 

  • If you’ll be away from home, request refills ahead of time. 

  • Keep an up-to-date medication list. 

  • If you miss a dose or have questions, contact your pharmacist or health care provider.
