What happens when you miss a dose

This is the question every medication app has to answer, and the honest answer is shorter than people expect.

What the app does

• Asks again, once, after the delay you set — thirty minutes by default.
• Leaves the dose open on Today and in the widget, so it can still be recorded.
• Counts it as missed once the day is over without an answer.
• Keeps it in the history and in the report, separate from a dose you deliberately skipped.

What it will never do

It will not tell you to take the dose late, to double up, to skip the next one, or to do anything else about it. What to do about a missed dose depends on the medicine, on how late it is, and on you — and the leaflet in the box or your pharmacist is the right source, not an app.

This is a deliberate rule in the code, not an oversight: the app gives no dosing advice of any kind.

Finding the pattern

One missed dose is nothing. Six missed doses that are all the 22:00 one are a setting, not a failure of character. Open History, look at which doses go unanswered, and move the time to one that fits the day you actually have. Then turn on the second reminder if it is off, and consider an alarm-style reminder for the dose that matters most.
