Reminders

Reminders are generated from your schedules and help you remember when to take each medication.

  1. Ensure you have at least one active schedule for a medication.
  2. Check your device or browser settings to allow notifications from MyMedTime (if supported).
  3. When it’s time to take a medication, you’ll see a reminder based on your schedule.
  4. Mark doses as taken (if available) to keep your history accurate.
If you’re not seeing reminders, verify your schedules are active and your notification settings are enabled.
