How to use it
- Enter each medicine and strength exactly as it’s written on the label.

- Add instructions like “with food” or “before breakfast”.
- Print the weekly chart and download the calendar reminders.
Tips for taking medicines safely
- Take medicines at the same times each day so it becomes a habit.
- Keep a list of everything you take, including over-the-counter medicines and supplements, and show it to your GP or pharmacist.
- If you miss a dose, check the leaflet or ask a pharmacist. Don’t double up unless you’re told to.
- A pharmacist can talk through your medicines with you. In England, if you start a new medicine for certain long-term conditions, you may be able to use the free NHS New Medicine Service at your pharmacy.
Frequently asked questions
Does this check my doses?
No. It only lays out what you enter. Always follow your prescription label and your pharmacist’s advice.
How do the reminders work?
The calendar file adds a daily event with an alert at each time, for as many days as you choose.
Is my list private?
Yes. It’s saved in this browser only and never uploaded.
