How to Take Your Meds in Secret: A Practical Guide for Privacy and Convenience
While medication is one of the ways to manage your health, there are times when it does become an issue to take medication discreetly. Be it at the office, any social event, or while traveling, having ways of taking your medications without raising eyebrows is always a plus to maintaining your privacy. In this article, we will review methods on how to manage one's medication routine discreetly and will point out helpful products available, including BeWell's One Day Pillholder, Take Your Meds Tumbler, and Mini Pill Pouches.
---Why People Conceal Their Use of Medication
Protecting Personal Privacy
Others may not want personal and private things exposed, such as health issues or medication taken. This is because many face stigma or judgment from other people once they find out about their medication. Taking prescription medications discreetly will help them to hide their personal information and not draw unnecessary attention from people.
Unwilling to draw attention and awkward questions.
Publicly taken medications often attract unsolicited advice or questions from people, many a time at work, within social circles, or even within family gatherings. Keeping your medication routine private helps you avoid antisocial confrontations.
---Medication Hiding Practices
Timing of Your Medication Use
One great subtle means of managing your medications is by pre-planning of their intake schedule. You therefore time them to fall when you go for a break or being in private, reducing possibilities of recognition.
SCHEDULE YOUR TIME AROUND BREAKS OR ALONE TIME
Take medication whenever possible on scheduled breaks when you are away from others. Associate taking medications to other activities that have become part of your routine, such as a lunch break at work or a quiet time at home.
Medications taken too early or too late
Especially for those on daily medications, taking them late at night or early in the morning-when far fewer people are likely to notice there is an issue-can help minimize stigma associated with 'having to' take attention. So, unless that goes against your prescription schedule, try changing your times.
---Pill Organizers and Obvious Containers
Pill Boxes: Small and Keychain Enclosure
This design is compact and portable, enabling the medication to be no big deal to take with discretion. For daily medications, BeWell offers a stylishly sleek option: the One Day Pillholder. Compact to fit in a pocket or bag, and built for quick, discreet access with no drawing of attention.
Alternative Storage Ideas
Other than that, if you're looking for other easy ways to stealthily travel with your medication, you might consider everyday items like mint tins or sunglass cases. You can also try things like BeWell's Mini Pill Pouches-a neat, miniature solution to carrying only the pills you'll need for the day, so they slip easily into your handbag or pocket.

Taking Medications in Restaurants or Public Places
The catch is only that medication is just so awkward to take when out in public, or at a restaurant. Well, the bright approach would be to use a holder designed for a drink and to keep people from staring. Take, for example, this product by BeWell called the Take Your Meds Tumbler. On the outside, it appears to be your average Joe travel tumbler, but inside, there is a pill compartment. Thus, this lets you take your meds with your beverage and makes for an ideal solution to keep your intake of medication as private as possible.
Fake Bathroom Break
Without the correct opportunity to take a tumbler or pillholder openly, retiring to the bathroom is another effortless means by which to keep these matters private. Simply use your medicine on the QT and return without anyone being the wiser.
---Discreetly Using Technology to help keep you on track
Silent Medication Reminder Apps
Oftentimes, the big problem with surreptitious medication is remembering to take it sans a loud alert going off. Consider silent medication reminder apps such as Medisafe or MyTherapy are available that might send a quiet notification or vibration to your phone or smartwatch.
This would discreetly alert them through smartwatches.
The smartwatches are also a fantastic tool in sending inconspicuous reminders. It will notify you either through silent vibration or by some more subtle visual sign, so you don't have to constantly check your phone.

Understanding Airport Transits and Security Checks
It's so easy traveling with medication-until you have to get through airport security. Keep your medications discreetly stashed in clearly labeled, TSA-approved containers. The Mini Pill Pouch by BeWell or the One Day Pillholder have just what you need for the day and reduces the need to tote a bulky pill bottle.
Being Discreet in Hotels or Group Settings
If you travel in groups or in shared accommodations, the discreet handling of your medication is all the more important. Keeping your medications in toiletry bags or in containers that camouflage with other items may enable you to take your medications without necessarily raising eyebrows.
---Prescription Refills Preferred to be More Discreet
Online Pharmacies for Privacy Protection
Among the best ways you can get your medications discreetly is through an online pharmacy. You will be able to conveniently and discreetly order prescriptions for delivery directly to your house. Many services offer alerts and automatic refills so you will not have to concern about heading to the pharmacy on a routine basis.
Pharmacy Pickup Alternatives
And if you really must pick up the prescription yourself, make use of drive-through pharmacies or locker pickups. Both options give more privacy to the transaction than picking up in-store. Walgreens and CVS have recently added lockers to their available services for fast, secure ways to get your medication with absolutely no face-to-face interaction.
