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 8 hours starting at 6 AM?
6:00 AM, 2:00 PM, 10:00 PM. That's 3 doses in 24 hours, each 8 hours apart.
How many times a day is every 8 hours?
3 times a day. Every 8 hours always gives 3 doses in a 24-hour day.
Do I have to wake up at night for an every 8 hours schedule?
Not with a 6 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.
