How to use Bearable to manage your medication.

✅  What you should track.

1. 1. In the Meds/Supplements section on your home screen, you can use the add/edit button (in the menu in the top right corner) to set up your medications. Using 400mg of Ibuprofen as an example, use the text bar at the top of the add/edit screen to type in the name of your medication (e.g. Ibuprofen), then enter the measurement of your medication (e.g. mg) and the strength of a normal dose of your medication (e.g. 400).

   2. This medication will now appear in the meds/supplements section of your app and you can repeat this process for each of your medications.

   3. You’ll now also be able to log this medication by tapping the pill icon under the medication name. Each time you log a dose you’ve taken, you can adjust the time, dose, and number of doses.
   4. To set reminders for each medication, tap the bell icon on the right-hand side of the medication for each one. You can add multiple reminders and schedule them for different days of the week. However, if you often take all your medications at one time of day, you can use the general reminders section on your profile page to set up a single set of reminders for all of your meds.

   5. If you’d also like to track the symptoms that your medications are meant to help you with, you can use the add/edit button in the menu in the top right corner of the symptom section to create – or add existing – symptom groups and symptoms.

   6. If you’d like to track the side effects of your medication(s), use the add/edit button in the menu in the top right corner of the symptom section to create a new symptom group named ‘side effects’ and add each of the possible side effects as a symptom to this group.
