Hello everyone. Sorry to trouble you with a small issue but these bisoprolol tablets are very small and in trying to take my tablet this sunny morning it fell into my bed clothing somewhere. Can someone please help me find it.Many thanks

Goosebumps .....no it didn't make me bloody smile because I had just dropped a small blue oval tablet somewhere in the kitchen and I can't find it. STILL can't find it!!!!! Grrrrrrrr 😰😰
It will have rolled somewhere away from the spot where you dropped it John. If you have a powerful torch shine it around the kitchen floor, that often works for me. Could it have landed on the kitchen counter and gone behind something there?
No Goosebumps your post made me wince and I felt sorry for you. I dropped a quarter of a pill on my bedroom floor last night. Did find it though by feeling around the bedside rug. I do that so often, that it drives me mad!
Hi Jean. I save my back by sorting out my pills towards the centre of our double bed before I unroll the duvet. Then if I drop or one pops out of it's packaging (yes you microscopic 5 mg. statin) it's very easy to find.
I have used the torch method as well in the kitchen.
Ha ha Goosebumps - glad someone else is as clumsy as I am. Those bisoprolol are a pain - much prefer the nice big Edoxaban - they are like yellow Smarties! Do what I did and get nice black bedside rugs - they show up runaway pills a treat.
No, Joy2 - mine are in a foil pack too. If they were loose I'd have a different problem and forget if I'd taken the *** thing or not.My current issue is rubbery fingernails. Had acrylics put on for daughter's wedding and now they are off, my nails are so soft I can't even push the tablet through the foil. Huh - 1st world problems!
😄 I swear those blooming tablets sprout legs when they land and make a run for it! A pity some bright spark hasn’t developed the equivalent of a metal detector for tablets!
Well, for me, I don't think I'm clumsy but my "old hands and fingers " don't grip together and often I don't even know where to look where I may have dropped them, don't worry though, there's some more in the bottle. Isn't it fun? got to laugh..
Why do fingerprints wear out as you get old? My fingers are almost as smooth as glass. Little grip in them at all. Even my smart phone can't recognise they are there.
Rivaroxaban drove me mad - small and dark red and ‘disappeared’ on my sofa. Then if I found one the question was ‘When did I drop it? Was it today?’ And if I knew I’d dropped one the worry was that the cat might find it first 😨 Hooray for Apixaban!
Ha h I have had to buy one of these from B&M’s …. Life saver ha
Hi Goosebumps ......yeah I found my little blue tablet. It had bounced off the floor and into a cupboard which I I'd left open. Actually didn't spot it till I browsed in the cupboard with a floodlight. At least the cat didn't get it 🐈🐈😺😺
I have the same problem with Xeralto they are so small and I have to make sure I find it otherwise I'm scared my dog will find it and eat it. I don't know what it would do to her.
I’m not sure who’s cat or dog is going to be rummaging through my bedclothes but they had better be housetrained. On the mouse front I regularly catch them in my ‘humane’ mouse traps so will stick one in my bed tonight. If I catch a mouse I’ll pop it a 1.25mg bisoprolol and give it a good nights sleep.
