How to Delete a Med - iOS

A new iPhone user asked: "How do I delete a drug from MyMeds?"

Answer:

Simply swipe the drug name (L to R) and a Delete button magically appears.

FYI- I wouldn't have known to do that myself either, but my developer says

this is the conventional iOS  method for data deletions.  Who knew...?

You may want to keep a drug record on your Meds list for future reference.  instead of Deleting it, here's a couple of ways you can stop the alarms.

1. Set an end date in Repeats. This is especially useful for time-limited drugs like antibiotics.  Since you might use that same antibiotic again sometime, make that drug record "go to sleep".

Edit the Drug Name like so: (ZZZ-Azithromycin) and it will drop to the bottom of the alphabetical list.  You can also use Notes & Directions to record symptoms (why you took it) or allergies (why you stopped it).

2. Change the Schedule from Routine to PRN

The drug will display in a regular font on MyMeds and the alarms will stop.

You'll see a Take button on MyMeds, and that's so you can Take a dose as needed.

(There's No check mark on Schedule and Repeat is grayed out).
