Never miss a dose with simple medication reminders
Set up reminders on your phone for each medicine, using exactly what your pharmacist or the label says.
When to use it
When you start a new medicine
Step by step
Read the label and leaflet
Write down each medicine's name, when to take it and any instructions like 'with food', exactly as the label or your pharmacist says.
Turn it into a daily timetable
Paste your list into your AI assistant with this prompt. It's only for organising times, not for changing anything.
Prompt to copyTurn these medicine instructions into a simple daily timetable. Use only what I've written and don't change or add doses: [paste names, times and instructions exactly from the labels]. I wake at [time], eat meals at [times] and go to bed at [time]. Output a table with time, medicine, and instructions (e.g. with food). List anything that's unclear for me to ask my pharmacist about.Set recurring reminders
Create a daily repeating reminder in your phone's reminders or clock app for each time slot. iPhone users can also use the Medications section of the Health app.
Ask your pharmacist
Take the 'unclear' list to your pharmacist and update the reminders if they suggest changes.
What you get
08:00 - Medicine A, 1 tablet, with breakfast. 13:00 - Medicine B, after lunch. 22:00 - Medicine A, 1 tablet. Ask pharmacist: can Medicine B be taken at the same time as my vitamin D?
Tips
- Never change a dose because of an AI answer; always check with your pharmacist, GP or prescriber.
- Avoid sharing your full medication list in AI tools unless you're comfortable with it; you can use 'Medicine A' and 'Medicine B' instead.
