Sometimes when you are sick or recovering from surgery you end up with a lot of medications. Remembering when, or if you took your medication can be a task. Keeping track of drug regimens becomes especially important if you are a caregiver for a loved one or elderly parent. That’s why Dosecast is the App of the Week.
Dosecast takes the brain teasing out of keeping track of those medications. Once you download the app you enter the basic information about each medication. This includes the name of the medicine, the dosage, the schedule and how it is to be taken.
Dosecast allows you to setup reminders on a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule or every few days or weeks. You can also schedule the app for a pre-set number of hours or days after the last dose. You won’t be asking yourself, “Did I take my medicine?”
Dosecast also keeps track of remaining quantities and reminds you to get a refill. It can also keep track of whether you are sticking to the prescription’s instructions.
This app is an indicator of the aging of our nation. Currently 40 millions Americans have become caregivers for ailing parents. It is no easy task. If you are a caregiver you appreciate all the help you can get. These people know how extremely important it is to administer drugs in the right dosages at the right time. Trying to keep it all in your head is nearly impossible. Dosecast takes that load off your mind.
Dosecast is free and available for Android and iOS devices.
