Reply To: Refusing to take medications

Hi John, here are few more things that could help.
1) Eliminate medications or supplements that aren’t absolutely necessary. Check with his doctor to see if everything is absolutely necessary and see if he can get rid of the ones that are not.
2) Try taking your meds with him, so you both re doing it together. Say something like, Uh, dad, it’s time take our meds. Do you want to go first or should I? Even if it is just vitamins you are taking it could help.
3) Consider the time of day. Sometimes switching to a time of day where they are more agreeable can help. Check with your doctor first to make sure this is OK
