Notes, doses nobody is sure about, questions

Copied from prescription labels and the people involved. Not medical advice. Keep it up to date and review it with a pharmacist or prescriber. Ask them before changing how any medicine is taken.

Keep “not sure” honest

The most useful logs separate “taken” from “I think so”. If nobody is sure whether a dose was taken, write “?” and check the medicine's instructions or ask a pharmacist. Don't give another dose to be safe.

A log that fills itself in

In DoseBeacon every tap is saved with who, when and on which device, and “Not sure” counts just as much as “Taken”.

Free to download. Free plan includes reminders, 2 active medications and 1 helper.

Medication log FAQ

What should a medication log record?

For each scheduled dose: whether it was reported taken, skipped, or nobody is sure, the time, and the initials of whoever recorded it. Keep “not sure” separate from “taken”. An honest “?” is more useful to a clinician than a guessed tick.

Is a medication log proof that a medicine was taken?

No. It's a record of what people reported. It's still valuable for spotting patterns and for conversations with a pharmacist or doctor.
