My Medicines is one calm list of everything you take. You can keep it as a reference list and nothing more. If you want to check doses off each day, it does that too.

From the left side of the screen, open My Health. Then choose the My Medicines card.

It helps to be clear about this up front.

SeniorThrive shows you what published sources say about each medicine, and it names the source. For most medicines you will see a plain-language description from the National Library of Medicine. Where a filing has one, you will also see the section of the FDA label written for adults 65 and older, quoted as written.

SeniorThrive does not check your medicines against each other. It does not look for interactions, and it does not decide that anything you take is risky. If a medicine has no note beside it, that means nothing was published for us to show you. It does not mean we checked and found nothing.

The app is not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent anything. Your doctor and your pharmacist do that. This list is here to help you talk to them.

The first time you open the page you will see a short welcome. Tap Add your first medicine to begin.

After that, the button at the top of your list says Add a medicine.

You can type the name, or you can photograph the bottle.

On the first screen, type the name exactly as it appears on your bottle. Or tap Snap the label instead and point your camera at the prescription label. We read the label and fill in what we can.

The camera is a helper, not a check. Please compare the name and the dose against your bottle before you save. If the photo got something wrong, just type over it.

If you change your mind at any point, tap Never mind at the top and nothing is saved.

After the name, the app asks for the dose, then the time of day. Those three are the ones that matter.

Two more steps follow, and both are optional: which pharmacy fills it, and when it is due for a refill. You can skip them and add them later.

When you are done, tap Add it to my medicines.

On the time step you can tap Set reminder times and pick the times of day you take that medicine.

You do not have to. Many people keep their list purely as a record, so it is there when a doctor asks. Nothing nags you if you leave the times blank.

If you do set times, that medicine starts appearing in Today, so you can check it off.

Once at least one medicine has a time, a row appears at the top of your list. Tap Today's medicines to open it.

Your doses are grouped into Morning, Afternoon and Evening. Beside each one:

Neither is permanent. Once a dose is marked, the button beside it changes to Change, so you can correct it whenever you like.

To look further back, tap See medication history.

On each medicine card there is a small link. Tap About this medication to open it.

Inside you will find what the medicine is used for, and a list of things the label says to watch for. Both come from published sources, and the source is named. If there is nothing published for that medicine, the card says so plainly instead of leaving a blank.

Lower down the page there is a panel headed What the label says, where you can tap any medicine to read the same information in more detail.

This is what the list is really for.

Near the top of the page, tap What to bring to the next visit. That gives you one page with your medicines and anything you have noticed, ready to print or share.

You can also print a single medicine on its own. Open About this medication on that card and tap Print this card for my next visit.

If you set a refill date when you added a medicine, anything coming due soon appears near the bottom of the page under Refills soon. Tap See all refills to see the full picture and manage your pharmacies.

Every medicine card has an Edit button in its top right corner. That reopens the same steps you filled in, so you can correct a dose, change a time, or add a pharmacy. The button at the end then says Save changes.

To take a medicine off your list, open it with Edit and scroll down to Remove. The page then asks you to confirm on the same screen. Tap Yes, remove it to finish, or leave it alone to keep the medicine.

If you type a name and we cannot find it on the FDA label list, the app tells you so and suggests checking the spelling on your bottle. You can still save it exactly as you typed it. Your list is yours, and nothing is refused.
