Response from developer

This app is made by a physician using a standard commonly prescribed medication schedule used by major electronic medical records in the United States. This helps to avoid overdosing or scheduling medication inappropriately too soon especially when used by our elderly population , however, users can modify medication schedule as long as dosing is safely spared apart throughout the day. By clicking the medication name from the main list, you’ll be allowed to modify scheduling giving you more flexibility as long as the dosing and timing match your doctors recommendation. Dosing and timing is determined by a physician not necessarily by the patient. i’m sure it will be extremely dangerous for an example to take your blood pressure medicine 10 times a day! This app definitely avoid such scheduling. I like the idea of adding an actual picture of the pill next to the medicine name in my next version , however, current version as of October 2023 allows users to create a simulated pill, shape and color, matching the actual prescribed pill
