The bottle says what the pharmacy dispensed; On hand keeps how many are actually in the house. Each medication on Prescriptions has an On hand section (it starts closed, with a one-line summary). Once a count is saved, the medication's closed line reads, for example, 58 on hand · about 29 days · runs out around Nov 10.
Count once. Open On hand and type the number under I counted. The unit comes from the Quantity dispensed, such as tablets, and can be changed. Tap Save count. A dose given before the count is already inside it.
Add an extra bottle. When more comes in outside a refill, type the number under Add, a short note such as extra refill or found a second bottle, and tap + Add. The history under the count lists every change with the day, the amount and who made it, for example Oct 12 · +30 extra refill · Sam.
Counted down by itself. From then on every dose logged as given takes the amount given at that time off the count: 1 tablet, half a tablet, or for a liquid counted in mL the amount for that time (15 mL at 6 AM and 10 mL at 6 PM). Skipped, refused and out-of-medication doses never count, removing a dose puts its amount back, and the count never goes below 0; at 0 the card says 0 on hand — log a refill. When an amount is not a number in the count's unit (15 mL against a count of tablets, or 1-2 tablets), nothing is taken off and the section says once Count not updated automatically for this amount; count again with I counted.
Days left and Running low. The days left come from the schedule and each time's amount (every so many hours, set days and a taper included); for an as-needed medication they come from the doses given in the last 14 days. When the days left reach the medication's warning, 7 days unless you choose another number under Warn me at, it is flagged Running low by the count, listed under Needs a refill with its days left, and the family managers and the care team are told once. Adding enough to be above the warning again takes back a flag the count set. The count never marks a medication out: a person logs that.
Refills. Log a refill offers Add 60 to on hand, ticked, with the Quantity dispensed filled in, and Refill picked up under Needs a refill asks Add 60 to on hand? the same way.
Professionals and clinicians on the care team see the same line on the dashboard's Medications tab and can use I counted and + Add there; the warning is set on Prescriptions. The printed sheet and the Home Care Team Plan show the count as On hand: 58 (about 29 days). The phone notification on the lock screen never names the medicine or the number.
