Sign up for the Daily Lo-minder
Make remembering to take your pill easier with daily text reminders.
It's important to take your pill at the same time every day. Whether you're at home, school, work, or out on the town, the Daily Lo-minder will remind you to take your pill on time.
Five Other Ways to Stay on Track
Use these tips to develop great habits. Taking the Pill should become so second nature to you that you won't even need the Daily Lo-minder.
1. Make the Pill part of your daily routine.
Take your pill every day along with another daily-routine activity, such as brushing your teeth. Doing so will help you get in the habit of taking your pills at the same time every day.2. Don't let your pills be out of sight, out of mind.
Place your ORTHO DIALPAK® on the vanity next to your toothbrush, in the kitchen next to your vitamins or on the nightstand next to your bed so that you are always reminded to take your pills on time.3. Create new routines when old ones are disrupted.
If eating breakfast has become hit or miss, take your pill with lunch. Or if your afternoon coffee break becomes obsolete, take your pill when you have your morning coffee instead.4. Pack your pills within reach.
When traveling by plane, keep your ORTHO DIALPAK® or ORTHO PERSONAL PAK™ in your carry-on bags, not your checked luggage. In the event that your bags are lost or stolen, you'll have one less thing to worry about.5. Talk to your healthcare professional.
Share information about your routine with your healthcare professional. He or she can give you advice about when to take your pill that best suits your schedule.Remembering Birth Control Refills: Don't Get Caught Empty-handed!
Make sure you remember to refill your birth control prescription each month so you have a pack in time for your start date. If you forget, you could risk missing the first few days of your pill cycle. To remind yourself, mark your calendar 1 week in advance of your start date, or set up monthly reminders from the Daily Lo-minder above.Please note that standard text message charges will apply.
