    I think something like this would be helpful for birth control reminders as well.

    Women on the combination pill usually take a break between packs or take sugar pills to get their withdrawal bleeding/period. So it would be helpful to have a setting “remind me for X days, then stop for Y days” Usually it’s 21/7 or 24/4, but it should be customisable as it varies between pill brands and some users take 2, 3 or 4 packs continuosly before taking a break.

    The apps Medisafe and MyTherapy have a “birth control cycle” option that works like that.

    i would also really like the ability to “retire” or “hide” previous medications so that when i click the medication tab i don’t have to scroll for two years to find the medications i need

    also subcategories, that way i can separate my medications up by meds i take in the morning, what i take in the afternoon, and at bedtime as well, so that tracking is easier and i don’t have to scroll up and down looking for the right medication

    I’d love the ability to set reminders for every other day!

    I would also love this feature - one of my medications is taken every two weeks and I find it really difficult to keep on top of!

    I have a fortnightly and a monthly medication, as well as monthly blood tests, so having reminders all in one place would be fabulous

    I have a monthly medication too, and one that I receive quarterly from my doctor. I would love to have this connected with the reminders.

    Me had a related suggestion from another member of the community:

    “Medication Intervalls.

    Hi there, I would love to have the possibility to remind myself of medication in intervalls, e.g. I need specific medicine every 5 days.”
