To add a medicine for a dependant, please follow the below steps:

  1. Go to the ‘Prescriptions’ tab at the bottom of the screen

  2. Select your dependants name at the top of the page

  3. If this is the first medicine you are adding, click 'Find medicine'

  4. If you already have their medicines set up and would like to add another medication, select ‘New medicine’ at the top of the page instead

  5. In the search bar, type in the name of the medicine you would like to add

  6. Select the medicine (if it is not listed, you can select ‘Add manually’)

  7. From the list, select the form of their medicine

  8. From the list, add the strength of their medicine (if the strength is not listed, select ‘Other’)

  9. You will then be asked how frequently you order this medicine, select this and click ‘Continue’

You then have the option to set up an alarm for your dependant to take their medication. To do this:

  • Select ‘Set up alarm’, and then select how often they take their medicine and click ‘Next’

  • To change the time of day you will be alerted, click the time and amend

  • Then, select a start date and whether they need to take their medication with a meal

  • Click ‘Set alarm’ and then ‘Add medicine’

If you do not want to set up an alarm, select ‘Just add medicine’.

You will then be taken back to your list of medications.
