Medi-Prompt is simply the best application for managing your medication schedules. Why can I say that? - Dynamic Scheduling!
Medi-Prompt is not just another alarm program. Tell it the max doses in 24 hours and the minimum time between doses and it will schedule the next dose taking those safety guidelines into account.
Lets look at a worked example. Tell Medi-Prompt that you need to take 4 doses starting at 8am and finishing at 8pm, and that the minimum time between doses is 3 hours. You take the first dose on time (8am) and it schedules the next dose at 12noon. You take that dose late at 1:30pm so instead of just saying that the next dose is at 4pm (as other alarm clock apps would do) Medi-Prompt will schedule it at 4:45, spreading the remaining doses evenly and checking that the time between doses is still at least 3 hours.

Medi-Prompt will
- remind you when your medication is due even when the app is closed
- prompt you to take your pills whether on-line or not
- schedule your meds to your requirements.
- warn you if you exceed the safe dosage

(1) SCHEDULING METHODS:-
AD HOC: (or PRN) No scheduling for this but still checks the safety limits.
TIMED DOSES: This allows you to set your own schedule of times during the day.
CALCULATED DOSES: You specify how many doses in the day and the first and last times and Medi-Prompt will dynamically schedule to spread the doses equally.
REGULAR INTERVALS: Specify the fixed interval between doses. If taken late, Medi-Prompt will reschedule the next dose maintaining that interval.
ALL METHODS use whatever safe dosage guidelines you set up.

(2) Set up a daily pattern for medication that should be taken, say, every other day, or 21 days on 7days off.

(3) WARNINGS will be given if doses are taken too close together or too many in 24 hours.
(3a) Meds will be scheduled to avoid taking too soon or too many.
(3b) Using Groups you can trigger warnings if meds in the same group are taken too frequently.
(3c) Reduce the risk of Medication Overuse Headaches by getting warnings if you take pain relief more than a given number of days in the month.

(4) Automatically stops scheduling when course is complete.

(5) The LOG is maintained so you or others can review which doses you took and when, which were accompanied by warnings and which were missed. You can add your own notes to each log entry (eg temperature). You can add your own log entries to record any other relevant events eg visit to the doctor. This log can be exported to your pc.

(6) PROMPTS (alerts) are fully configurable, with a choice of sounds and adjustable repeat times. They can also be silenced/delayed for a period (eg for a meeting).

(7) STOCK CONTROL is optional (but always free!) at both system level and for each medication, and will alert you when you need to order more.

(8) You can UNDO any Taken or Skipped entry. Go to the log, select the entry and click the trash can. Any such changes to the log will result in a recalculation of the medication schedules.

(9) Guidance notes appear when entering data for a new medication.

NO HIDDEN EXTRAS: Medi-Prompt is not a lite version expecting to upgrade or buy more; and there are no adverts!

DISCLAIMER: Please note the following before you purchase:-
"Medi-Prompt is designed to help you schedule and track your medication. However, Medi-Prompt and its developers take no responsibility for the medication you take, when you take it, or the quantity you take."

Pros and cons of Medi-Prompt med reminder app for iPhone and iPad

Medi-Prompt med reminder app good for

This app makes taking medication so simple. Its easy to use and helps me keep track of quantity and supply.
The developer has really done this right. This is an excellent app that I use every day to remind me to take meds at difficult-to-remember intervals (e.g., every 8 hours). The features, including the log, are extremely practical. You can delay prompts for any time period you choose, to avoid being interrupted during a meeting or during a later than usual morning sleep. It gently reminds you when you do not respond the first time. I am very grateful I found this app. Thank you! UPDATE: I have now used this for almost 3 months and could not be more pleased. UPDATE 2: still delighted with this wonderful, faithful, reliable app. Thanks to the developer for keeping it up to date! UPDATE 3: Still rock solid reliable and incredibly useful. UPDATE 4: very grateful for this wonderful app!
My husband has a terminal condition and this app has been a life saver keeping track of the many meds that he is on. It is very flexible to track even overdose warnings (e.g. at least 4 hours in between doses). There are some improvements needed that could make this app even better. It would be great if this app allows login account where you can log in and track meds for a single person from multiple devices and allows meds to be entered on a computer. Also would be helpful to have apple watch app where it would remind you to take the meds.
This app is perfect if you have to keep track of multiple meds, oddly scheduled meds or just meds that are taken as needed. There are so many options available for scheduling that any med in any dosage schedule can be entered, even those that are only taken on certain days of the week. This app is well worth the price paid!!
This application made tracking medications after my surgery effortless! Get it!
As has been noted by others, the interface is not the prettiest, but that is more than made up for by the flexibility and power of this app. Any type of med schedule I can think of, including PRN (as needed) can be accommodated. The minimum times and overdose warnings are great. And details about dosing such as "each tablet is 500mg, and I take two at each dose" are handled beautifully. Fantastic app.

Some bad moments

Giving this app another try. Ive used it before and had a fatal error that wiped out EVERYTHING. Every time I entered my info again, a few days later, the same fatal error and wipe out! I have tried about approx 15 other med apps since then and nothing even comes close the features of Medi-Prompt. I have noticed some upgrades am excited to try it again. This is definitely the app for me! There have been upgrades to fix the bugs and Im JAZZED! I highly recommend this app to anyone that needs to keep track of their meds or anyone elses. Its great for caregivers too!!!
Great I have so many pain meds that are taken different times of the day. I can be confusing this app is so helpful! Thank you!
Takes care of all those real world medication edge cases that every other medication tracker does not.
Please see below my previous review!! That was last year this is now. After the update the warm fuzzy feeling left. All the program does now is lots of inaccurate timers and freezing scenes the UP-DATE IVE HAD TO LOOK FOR ANOTHER PROGRAM. OR BACK TO PAPER. One star is pushing it. Awesome, thanks, keep up the good work. For me this app. is just what I needed, it does everything that I would have expected, and more. Give it a try. Thank you!
Love this app. I take several different meds everyday and this app helps me to keep track of all of them. Its also great when I have to fill out forms on which meds I take. All my info is all together in one place. Very easy to use and keeps me organized.
This was just what I needed for a complicated prescription regimen.
