Pill Phone Tells You When to Take Your Meds

When you're feeling miserable and your doctor finally determines an antibiotic will help, you likely rush to the pharmacy and take the first one instantly, eager to take the next few until you start feeling better. But by day 10, when you feel fine, who remembers to take the last few pills?

To help you remember, Verizon is offering The Pill Phone. In addition a reminder feature to ensure you take your pills on time, the service allows you to look up dosing, side effects and drug interactions for some 1800 different medications.

The Pill Phone costs $3.99/month for Get It Now-capable phones. Subsribe to the service by going to the Get It Now virtual store from your cell phone or smartphone and click on Get Going or Tools on the go. Then click Get New App and Mind, Body & Soul.
