Record what happened
You can record doses from Today or a reminder. Check the result: a dose is recorded only when the app confirms it was saved.
Record from Today
Tap the dose. Taken records it, Skip records that it was not given, and Snooze asks for another reminder. If it is already recorded, check who recorded it and when.
App steps
How do I log a dose from Today?
Today lists the day’s doses at their scheduled times and shows which are due, late, taken or missed. If someone else already recorded a dose, Today shows who.
- On Today, tap the dose.
- Tap Taken to record it, Skip to say why it wasn’t given, or Snooze to be reminded later.
- To see the dose’s details and its recent history, tap Dose details.
- Under Snooze, you can also pick When I get home or When my Focus ends once you’ve set them up, as long as notifications are on and the dose has an end-of-window reminder. You’re reminded when your home or Focus Shortcut runs, or the dose opens the next time you come back to the app, and the reminders already planned still come. Nothing is logged.
Use a reminder
Use the reminder’s action when it is available, or tap the reminder to open the app. Recording requires an unlock. Grouped reminders for a child open the app for confirmation. If saving fails, a follow-up says the dose was not recorded and it stays pending.
App steps
How do I log a dose from a reminder?
Use the reminder’s own actions, or tap it to open the app. Recording the dose there clears the reminder for everyone reminded, on every device. A dose that couldn’t be saved is never shown as taken: another notification says it wasn’t recorded, and the dose stays due.
- When the reminder arrives, touch and hold it to see its actions.
- Tap Taken to record the dose; your iPhone asks you to unlock it first. A reminder for several of a child’s doses doesn’t offer it: tap the reminder to record them in the app.
- Tap Snooze to be reminded again later. A reminder for a single dose also offers Skip, which opens the app to say why it wasn’t given.
Record a group
Open a group of doses due at the same time for one person. Leave selected only the doses you gave, then tap Taken. Check each result: recorded, already recorded, or not recorded with a reason.
App steps
Can I log several doses at once?
Yes. Doses due at the same time for one person are grouped on Today, and you can log the group in one go. Each dose then says whether it was logged, was already logged by someone else, or wasn’t recorded and why.
- On Today, tap the group, where its time and person are.
- Untick any dose that wasn’t given, then tap Taken.
- If something was wrong, tap Remove from log to undo what you just recorded.
An as-needed dose
Open the medication in the as-needed section on Today. Check the last recorded dose in the past 24 hours and any episode limit. Record what was given, using a different time if needed.
App steps
How do I log an as-needed dose?
As-needed medications have their own strip on Today. Before you log one, it shows when the last dose in the past 24 hours was taken, and who gave it if it wasn’t you, along with any limit the label sets for one episode.
- On Today, under As needed, tap the medication.
- Check when it was last taken, then tap Taken.
- If it was given earlier, tap Different time, pick the time, and log it at that time.
If something looks wrong
Check the person, medication, recorded time, and who recorded it. You can correct only an entry you recorded yourself. Support can help with a record problem. For what to do about a missed or possibly repeated dose, ask a pharmacist, clinician, or veterinarian.
