Log your medications
By default, your Apple Watch Ultra will remind you when it’s time to log your medications based on the schedule you’ve created in the Health app on iPhone or iPad. To log your medications, follow these steps.
Note: In order for your Health app data to sync across devices, make sure your devices are signed in with the same Apple ID, are connected to the internet, and are updated to the latest OS version.
If you’ve received a notification to log your medications, tap the notification. Otherwise, open the Medications app
on your Apple Watch Ultra.
Tap the current medications schedule—the medications you take in the morning, for example.
Tap Log All as Taken.
Apple Watch Ultra records the dosage, the number of units taken, and the time you took the medication.
To log individual medications, scroll down, tap Taken below a medication, then tap Done.
The medication’s name and time logged appears below Logged.
To change the status of a logged medication, tap it, tap Taken or Skipped, then tap Done.
