What about PRN medications?

How do you handle medications that are only taken "PRN" or as needed.  

These can be prescription (Rx) medications for pain or Over-the-Counter (OTC) products that you take for a headache or for allergy symptoms,  Everyone keeps a few of these around to be ready whenever the need arises.  

Should they be included in your MyMeds list in OnTimeRx?  Of course.  Doctors always need to know about ALL medications you may be taking, including PRNs and OTCs.  

Simply enter the drug name, strength and dosing information as found on the package or Rx label.  In this case, there's no need to set a dosing schedule or a repeat, beause you won't know ahead of time when you're going to need to take these meds.   

On the Schedule tab, simply select PRN instead of Routine and the Repeat tab will be grayed out.  The drug name will appear in a regular font on the MyMeds list with a Take button.   You simply tap the Take button to log a dose anytime you need to take a one.  

This provides useful dosing information.  It helps you and your health care provider track how often you're needing certain types of medications.  It may be appropriate to ask your doctor to prescribe a different drug or suggest a better product if you're not getting adequate relief.
