Medication reminders set around your meals

Before, with or after the meal

For each medication, you choose the timing your pharmacist gave you: before, with or after a meal. You also say how long before or after.

Example: “30 minutes before lunch”. If you eat at noon, the reminder arrives at 11:30 a.m.

Eating later? The reminder follows

When you change the time of a meal, the doses tied to that meal move with it. Only upcoming doses move: what you have already taken stays recorded at its real time.

Tie a medication to a meal only if your pharmacist’s instruction says so: some medications are taken at a fixed time, even when the meal changes.

Sitting down to eat now? An “I’m eating now” button may appear on the meal. It is never required.

A food restriction? You see when to eat

Some medications come with a food-related instruction to follow around the dose. In HoraDose, this is a “food restriction”. You enter how long it lasts before and after the dose, as your pharmacist explained it. You can add a note, such as the food to avoid.

• During the restriction, the home screen shows the time left.
• Each meal shows the window when you can eat, for example “11:15 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.”.
• If a meal falls during a restriction, an orange marker lets you know. You always have the final say on your meal times.
