1 year ago Hi! I was just looking through to see if anyone had submitted something already, or if there was a solution for half tablets. I'm sure many other people take varying doses, including half, quarter tablets etc.
So that I'm not doubling up, I'll post here. Let me know if this is okay, or if it should be a separate issue.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I have two Taken As Needed medications where sometimes I need a half tablet, or sometimes a full tablet.
Keeping track of those medications in the app would be great! Knowing when I took them, how often, and how many are left in the pack without counting would be very helpful.
Describe the solution you'd like An option for split tablets, and an adjustment to the remaining doses field to go down accordingly by 0.5, 0.25, etc
Using this with the current functionality of Taken As Needed's button to stack them would be very appreciated.
So in my case, Tablet X, 30mg, 0.5 tablet, 20 remaining. One press of I Just Took It registers half a tablet, 29.5 remaining. Another tap for a full tablet, 29 remaining.
Describe alternatives you've considered One workaround I've found for a consistent dose of half a tablet, you can multiply the total number of tablets by two, enter that as the Remaining Doses, type a custom Dose Unit (e.g. Half 10mg Tablet) then add what you've done as a note to yourself. This is what I've done for one medication. Similar concept for any other consistent dose of split tablets.
I could, and have tried to do the same for varying doses, however I find myself losing track more. It would be very helpful to have it reflect the actual number in these cases.
Thank you for your time and effort on this project! I hope you'll consider implementing this in future updates.
Hey! I had a problem with my medication where I had 1.5 doses left, but the app only accepted 1 dose since I believe the "remaining doses" field is set to only accept ints and not doubles (although I don't know what I'm talking about, I'm not a CS kid lmao)
With the dose units, I wanted to input both "Tablets" and the measurement of the dose (e.g. mg, ml, etc.) and wasn't able to - it would be neat to have two separate dose units for measurements and other units, or allow the user to add as many dose amounts as they'd like - similarly to the "Add Another Dose" feature.
A brief explanation of what all the labels mean - for instance, in the form of an optional tutorial offered to new users on signing up that can be revisited by checking the About page - might also be helpful for new users! I was very confused about the RX number and the "Taken as needed" functions, since I didn't use to manage my own medication.
Let me know if you need any further clarification, and regardless thank you for reading! :D
