    Re: Pharmacy Record Suggestions v2.1.6

    ‘Pill Management’ can be difficult. Here’s a few things to consider – currently my wife is taking nine prescribed meds and three supplements issued by four different doctors and supplied by five different pharmacies; we are on retired and on Medicare. Being on Medicare and needing some expensive drugs she runs out of the initial $$ coverage limit in early June and we pay full price thereafter. Cheaper prices for the same drugs are available online, but not always at the same company. In general we purchase meds from two local and one mail order(cheaper to buy 90 day supply) pharmacies in the USA for the first half of the year and from the three online pharmacies for the rest of the year.

     

    At the last two doctor appointments three of the nine meds were changed. This entails research for the best prices which I record on a spread sheet for evaluation. Knowing the end date for the prescription is important and which pharmacy has refills available. A “reminder to refill” in the program would be very helpful, as would a spreadsheet like tabulation record showing the refill dates and med quantities(either how many days supply or number of pills).
