What to do if you stop taking the medicine
It is also practical to manage the list afterwards. If you no longer need a certain medication, you don't necessarily have to delete it completely. You can archive it so that it disappears from the main overview, but remains saved in case you return to it later.
This is especially useful if you don't want to fill in the same information again unnecessarily. On the other hand, if it is clear that you no longer need to record it, you can delete it from the list.
The advantage of the whole feature is primarily its simplicity. Instead of several different reminders and notes, you have everything in one place, including an overview of the set times and frequency of use. If you also use Health for other data, medication management will fit naturally into the rest of the app and can make it a slightly more useful tool for your daily routine.
