How to Log Medication Doses

AlcoLog includes a dose-tracking screen for seven alcohol-related medications. The screen records a timestamp every time you take a dose, optionally reminds you when it’s time for the next one, and keeps a 24-hour rolling list so you can see the day at a glance. Doses log into your session history but are kept separate from your AlcoScore.

# Step 1. Open the Medications screen

Tap the Alerts tab in the bottom navigation, then tap Medications. The first time you visit, a one-off Medical Disclaimer sheet appears. Read it, then dismiss.

The screen opens with seven collapsed cards, one per medication. The full list: Recovery Supplements, Naltrexone, Gabapentin, Acamprosate, Disulfiram, Nalmefene, and Topiramate. You don’t need to set anything up first; tap the card for the medication you take.

# Step 2. Tap to log a dose

Tap your medication’s card. It expands with the brand name, method (TSM, Abstinence, Aversion, etc.), full description, and a coloured Log [name] Dose button.

Tap the button. A time picker sheet slides up titled When did you take [name]? with date and time wheels. The default is “now”; spin the wheel back to log a dose you took earlier (up to 24 hours back).

Tap Confirm · Log Dose. The sheet dismisses, the button briefly flashes ✓ Logged!, and the dose appears in the Doses (last 24 hrs) section below.

# Step 3. Set a redose reminder (optional)

Below the Log Dose button there’s a Redose Reminder (from now) section with two wheel pickers (hours, minutes). Spin to your next dose interval, then tap Set Reminder.

Once the timer is running the section flips to show an hourglass, the remaining time, and a red Cancel button. When the timer fires, you get a notification on iPhone and Apple Watch.

# Step 4. Review and clean up

The Doses (last 24 hrs) section lists every dose you’ve logged today. Each row shows the time it was taken plus a small trash icon on the right.

Tap the trash to remove a dose you logged by mistake. A confirmation alert asks Delete the [name] dose logged at [time]?, warning that the dose will also be removed from your session history. Tap Delete to confirm.

After 24 hours the list clears automatically, but every dose stays in your session history regardless. The 24-hour window is for at-a-glance review, not the permanent record.

# Step 5. Add a location reminder (Pro)

Pro users see an extra Location Reminder section in each medication card. Toggle it on, pick a trigger direction (Arrive, Depart, or Both), and add saved locations.

When you arrive at one of those locations (or leave it, depending on the direction), iOS will fire a quiet notification reminding you to take your dose. Useful for tying naltrexone to the venue you usually drink at, or acamprosate to home.

That’s the whole loop. Tap your medication, log the time, set a redose timer if you want one, review at a glance.

# What’s next

Logging doses sits next to alerts and notifications for water, pacing, and limits. The next tutorial covers setting up alerts. For Sinclair Method users specifically, naltrexone’s editorial coverage is in the Naltrexone hub.
