“The Health app adds medications, allowing users to easily create and manage a list of medications, create schedules and reminders, and keep track of their medications, vitamins or supplements.”

Besides all this, the feature tells users about potential interactions between medications and it’s possible to connect with healthcare providers to see a list of past medications, get future updates, or add items to your schedule.

important note: Apple says: “It’s helpful to keep in mind to keep track of your medications, while useful, it’s only one tool in safely managing your medication schedule. Please consult with your doctor, pharmacist, family members, and any caregivers to create a plan that works best for you.” .
