Getting started with Dosewise
Dosewise is a medicine timing and dose logging app for Android. It helps you record when you take a medicine, see what is due, and keep a history of recent dose records.
Dosewise is useful when you want a clear record of routine medicines, weekly medicines, occasional medicines, or medicines where spacing between doses matters.
Dosewise does not replace medical advice. Use the schedule, dose, and timing instructions given by your clinician, pharmacist, prescription label, or medicine leaflet.
The main screens

Scheduled and as-needed medicines
Scheduled medicines are medicines you expect to take on a routine. They can be daily, weekly, or selected days of the week.
As-needed medicines are medicines you do not take on a fixed routine. Dosewise can still record when you take them and apply spacing or limit rules based on the details you enter.
