Using the Medication Planning Chart to define your
medications and your Reminder/Alarm times
Enclosed and at the end of this User’s Guide you will find a Medication
Planning Chart to make loading the medication trays and setting your
MedSmart easier.
1. Across the top of the chart, write the name of each medication and
vitamin you will be loading into the MedSmart.
2. Determine how many times per day you take your medications (1
to 6) and write those times in the first column from earliest to latest.
NOTE: If you only need the MedSmart to dispense pills once a
day, follow step 3, but instead of filling in times of day, fill in days
of the week for reference, starting with the first day of the week the
MedSmart will begin dispensing.
3. Select the set of disk(s) corresponding to the # of doses per day.
4. For each medication, mark the number of pills to be taken in each
appropriate block on the chart.
5. If you have any pills that are not taken daily, use the bottom row
to make appropriate notes as to when and how much should be
taken. Use this row for day 7 when filling in days of the week.
NOTE: Only tablets or capsules suitable for swallowing should be
placed in the MedSmart Dispensing Unit.
