Helping a parent remember?

A paper chart works until nobody's there to check it. DoseBeacon sends large-text reminders to the person taking the medication, with a Senior Mode that shows one clear button at a time, and keeps a shared record of reported doses for the family members they approve.

Questions

What times is every 12 hours starting at 10 AM?

10:00 AM, 10:00 PM. That's 2 doses in 24 hours, each 12 hours apart.

How many times a day is every 12 hours?

2 times a day. Every 12 hours always gives 2 doses in a 24-hour day.

Do I have to wake up at night for an every 12 hours schedule?

Not with a 10 AM start: every dose falls between 6 AM and 11 PM.

Does "three times a day" mean every 8 hours?

Not always. For some medicines it means evenly spaced around the clock (every 8 hours); for many others it means three doses spread across your waking hours, often with meals. The label or your pharmacist will tell you which one applies.

What if I miss a dose?

Follow the instructions on the label or patient leaflet, or ask your pharmacist. Do not double up unless you have been told to.

Can I print this schedule?

Yes. Tap "Print the week chart" for a one-page chart with a tick box for every dose, Monday to Sunday.
