Antibiotic help, gaps in course, forget to take them. What do I do?

[Jux]

I came out of hospital on Monday with doxycycline and a load of steroid tablets to take with them (6 to each doxy). I had started the course while in hospital and should have continued with one doxy a day with the steroids.

I took them on Monday evening, but forgot them on Tuesday and Wednesday. I took one doxy and 6 tiny white steroid tabs on Thurs and forgot again last night.

I have 3 doxy left. I don't know what to do. Do I take them again this evening and carry on Sun and Mon when I'll finish them, or do I forget them altogether because of the gaps in the course? I know when the course started in hosp I took two doxy on the first dose then it was one once a day as it should have been since, along with all the steroids.

Continue to take them. You’ve been prescribed them because your ill. Ill enough to be in hospital. You need to set an alarm or find some other way to remember to take them.

Always complete a course of antibiotics.

Yes definitely continue with them.

I'm old skool, can't be bothered to mess about with the phone,so we print a calendar page each month,stick it on the fridge. This is for dogs meds, one daily,one monthly, and one 6 monthly times 2 dog's.But one pill a day shouldn't be too difficult to remember.

Thanks all. I'll be taking them this evening.

Set an alarm.

Yeah but I take over 20 tablets a day anyway, and the antibiotics are not the only new ones. They are the only ones I take once a day and the card from the bospital said I should take them at the same time I took them in hospital which is not a time I take any others.....

Jux, golly, I can hear you rattling from here. Do you use a dox box?

I used to but the compartments are too small now! I know there are more spacious ones but I also want one which doesn't take up too much room altogether as I have trouble finding storage space for all this stuff which I can reach easily. It's ridiculous really. If you came on the day I get my months' supply from Boots and saw how much there was to find room for you'd advise me to buy a new house!
