Medication Shortcuts

These are the shortcuts I use for medication tracking.

Previously I had been using Reminders to remember to take my meds, but I found that to be unreliable due to bugs and unhelpful for as-needed meds.

1. Make a Reminders list and add your meds.

2. Create a calendar for your meds.

3. Make a .json file and save it to the Shortcuts folder in iCloud Drive. Make it in this format:

   {“Levothyroxine”:20,”Lyrica”:6}

4. For meds taken once daily, add these actions:

5. Now, when you go to take the medication, run the shortcut and it will complete the reminder, add it to the calendar, and decrease the med quantity you have left.
