Enter pharmacy label times into Add Medicine
Need reminders at the clock times on your pharmacy label? On Meds, tap +, open Add Medicine, leave One-time off, Add time for each, then Save.
Type the label times in Add Medicine
- On the Meds list, tap + to open Add Medicine (empty-state copy may say New Med).
- Leave One-time off so you get a repeating schedule. Keep Repetition Period on Weekly unless you need another period.
- Under Schedule days, select MON…SUN (or All) to match the days on your label.
- For each clock time printed on the label, tap Add time, pick the time, confirm with Add. Times appear under Times.
- Tap Save.
The app stores those days and times and sets reminders for them. It does not interpret the prescription for you - you transfer the clock times from the label.
Want more detail on weekdays and repeating times? See the weekly medication schedule guide. When you get a reminder, you may see Taken, +5m, and +10m - more in medication reminder snooze.
Limitations
- This is phone setup only - not dosing advice.
- Each time you add applies on every selected day. You cannot set independent times per weekday.
- Optional camera scan on Medicine name or Description only pastes text after Confirm. It does not fill schedule times.
- Battery saving or turned-off notifications can affect whether a reminder arrives at all.
- If the label is unclear, ask a pharmacist or clinician - do not guess inside the app.
Smart Meds Reminder is a medication reminder and log. It is not medical advice and does not replace a qualified clinician or pharmacist.
