Method and system for documenting and controlling the taking of medication

A system for controlling and documenting the taking of prescribed medication by the user from different medicine containers comprising:

• a documentation chart divided into sections representing days of the week and selected times in a given day for providing a space to indicate and document when medication is due to be taken and when said medication is actually taken,
• a plurality of sets of different distinctively shaped and colored stickers which are clearly visibly distinguishable one set from each of the other sets,
• at least a first of said plurality of sets of stickers adapted to be affixed to said chart at the approximate times and days which identify one type of medication which has been prescribed for the use and also are to be affixed to the container housing the prescribed medication whereby the container housing the prescribed medication and the times for taking the medication on the chart have the same type of sticker from the same set of stickers so the patient by looking at the chart which shows exactly when the medication is to be taken simply matches the shape of the stickers on the chart with the shape of the stickers on the container before taking medication thereby preventing errors in the taking of the medication, and
• a mark is placed in the section containing the sticker of the prescribed medication when it is taken to provide a clear and accurate permanent record of the medication taken as well as the time at which such medication is taken.
