OnTimeRx user inquiry:
It would be very helpful, especially for logging purposes, to specify whether I took one or two, so I could look at my log and know with total accuracy what I've taken on any given day.
Tech Support response:
Thanks for the excellent suggestion. This enhancement will be added to our “Wish List” and will be given full consideration for a
future upgrade. The current versions of OnTimeRx do not currently have this
feature/capability, but it is desirable information to track, especially for
the many patients who have to manage “serious” PRN meds.
Things are handled a little differently on the two platforms - iOS and Android, but
basically the same logic is used on both.
Suggested Solution/Workaround:
- Enter two separate drug records for the different doses of the same medication. (Example: Aleve-1tab and Aleve-2tabs)
- Toggle the Schedule from Routine to PRN.
- When you need to take a dose, select the appropriate drug-dose from MyMeds and use Take Now button to log it. (Example: Aleve-2tabs will display on the Log record on this date/time.)
- Divide your pill count 1/3 and 2/3 between these 2 records so each dose taken will count down appropriately. MyMeds display will give you a rough idea how many days supply you have left for those 2 entries.
Hope this helps for the time being. Thanks again for
sharing your thoughts and suggestions. User input is very helpful and
always welcome.
