What if I need to give medication again sooner than the timer allows?

The app may block starting a new timer when rules say there’s already an active timer or when dose limits for a period would be exceeded—this is intentional for safety. Read the on-screen message; adjust timing only if your clinician has told you it’s appropriate, and contact your health professional for medical advice.

Note: Medication Timer supports tracking and reminders; it does not replace medical judgment. During illness, the same spacing rules apply in Care sessions on the Care tab as in the standalone Timers section.
