"Have you been taking it?"
Answer with a record

Appointments are short. "Pretty well" says less than "90% over the last 30 days, and I often miss the evening dose."

What to prepare

  1. Adherence since the last visit — per medication, especially any you often miss.
  2. Why doses were missed — timing didn’t fit, worried about side effects, forgot.
  3. Changes you noticed — with dates.
  4. Supplements and other medications you take.

A record is supporting information; any change to your medication is decided with your doctor or pharmacist.

This guide is about organizing dose times, not medical advice. Always follow your doctor’s or pharmacist’s instructions on when, how much and whether to take a medication.

Keeping dose notes

One line is enough: "upset stomach", "dizzy", "felt fine". You can note only when something happens, but the date is what lets you answer "since when?".

A table? Use CSV

Export history (CSV) in Settings copies date, time, medication, status and note to the clipboard as a table you can paste into a spreadsheet.

A screenshot of the report card works too. In the exam room, showing your phone is often quickest.

FAQ

Can I make a report for my parent?

Switch to their profile and export the PDF from the Stats tab; it covers that profile.
