Taking medicine is an important way to stay healthy. However, sometimes it is hard to get your prescription filled, or you might not like the way they make you feel. If you have any concerns, please talk to your provider or pharmacist. They can help you feel better and find solutions that work for your lifestyle. 

If you want to take your medicine but sometimes forget, try these simple tips: 

• Get a Longer Supply: Ask your doctor for a 90-day or 100-day supply. This means you have to go to the pharmacy less often. 

• AlohaCare members can receive 100-day prescription refills for generic maintenance drugs for high blood pressure, diabetes and cholesterol. 

• Automatic Refills: Ask your pharmacy to refill your medicine automatically when it is running low. 

• All-in-One Day: Ask your pharmacist for “Med-Sync.” This is a program that makes sure all your different medicines are ready to pick up on the same day. 

• Home Delivery: Ask your doctor or pharmacy if they can mail your medicine to your house so you don’t have to travel. 
  • Home delivery is available to AlohaCare members at zero-cost through Optum Rx. Sign-up at optumrx.com, on the app, or call 1-844-368-1959 and ask your provider to send your prescription to Optum Home Delivery. 

• Connect it to a Habit: Take your medicine at the same time every day. Do it right after you brush your teeth or right before you go to sleep. 

• Use an Alarm: Set an alarm on your phone to remind you. If you can’t take it right away, hit “snooze” so it reminds you again soon. 

• Use a Pill Box: A pill box with the days of the week can help you see if you missed a dose. Remember to fill the box on the same day every week.
