pill in the pocket
"Pill in the Pocket". It's an expression for taking a medication only when needed in response to a particular event, not taken at regular intervals like most medication. An example of this would be an antiarrhythmic drug ( such as Flecanaide) taken by a person with paroxysmal A-fib, when he/she feels the symptoms of the A-fib occurring, in the hopes that the medication will stop the A-fib. I guess carrying the medication around in the pocket would make it available anytime the person feels the need for it.
