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?

Jean, you are so clever ..... I used my floodlight and spotted the offending blue pill in a cupboard.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Glad you found the little blighter. Sometimes I look for cobwebs that way. It's surprising how many you can find with a powerful torch.

If you can't see them without such drastic means why worry about them? I have enough trouble clearing away the ones that I can't avoid seeing!

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.

All the best.

Me too. I think old age does something to your fingers so you are always dropping things.

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!

Yes did make me laugh happens to me all the time.

Seriously though I take 7 tablets every evening and 3 of them are small and white.

I am clumsy and often my wife says “I found a small tablet is it yours?”

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..

Mine are a combination of old hands AND being clumsy.

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.

All the best

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!

It is a pain and happens more than I would like with the added complication that our dog would eat anything apart from mushrooms or lettuce!!!

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 🐈🐈😺😺

Mine have a tenancy to hide in my slippers. And you wouldn't want to eat anything that had been lurking in there!

OK Goosebumps365

The seriousness of the loss is thAT YOU DO NOT WANT YOUR CAT OR DOG TO EAT IT. OR IT COULD BE A Wee mouse.

Mice in NZ are gathering in homes!

How they get in is a frowning questions.

I have caught 2 and a baby got wedged under my hand held soup maker and died there.

I am told that if you hav 1 mouse, you will have 3!

I even caught a mouse in a big strong rat trap inside a box!

Getting back to pill drops I search and search cause I dont wan't my JAZ to eat it.

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.

Not what you're looking for?
