KEY FEATURES
Unfortunately, it is all too easy to forget to take your supplements, medicines, and vitamins, especially when your usual schedule is completely neglected. Fortunately, you can set a simple reminder on your iPhone or Apple Watch to help you remember to take your prescription on time.
Apple has added a much-needed feature to the Apple Watch. The new Medications app in WatchOS 9 allows users to keep track of their medications and set up reminders. In the Medications app on your Apple Watch, you can keep track of your medicines and register them with reminders. Here's how to set up an Apple Watch medication reminder.

How Can You Track Your Medications With Your Apple Watch?

Step 2: Tap the current medications schedule – the medications you take in the morning, for example.
Step 3: Press ‘Log All as Taken.’ The dosage, the number of units consumed, and the moment you took the medication are all recorded by Apple Watch.
Step 4: Scroll down, select a drug under ‘Your Medications,’ and then select ‘Log’ to record each medication. Under Logged, the name of the drug and the time logged are shown.
Step 5: In order to change the status of a logged medication, you have to tap it, and click on ‘Taken’ or ‘Skipped.’
Step 6: Now, tap on ‘Done.’ That’s all.
