Habiba, three times a day
8 hours, 3 times
24 hours covered on a simple clock. Still follow the label if it says with food or at set clock times.
Medicine Dose Timing Reminder (Non-Dose)
A clock sketch for a timing pattern your clinician already set. You type hours between doses and how many times a day. We multiply. There are no milligrams, no tablet counts and no advice to change a dose.
Your details
Enter the timing your clinician already gave you. We do not suggest a dose.

Common questions
What is the medicine dose timing reminder?
Timing maths only. It will never suggest a strength.
I missed a dose.
Follow the patient leaflet or ask a pharmacist. Do not double up because a website said so.
Can I use this for insulin or opioids?
No. Those need your own clinical team.
Example scenarios

12 hours, 2 times

Aoife, four times a day
6 hours, 4 times
24 hours covered. Night doses still need the leaflet, not this product.
