Compounds and schedules
A compound is anything you inject on a schedule. Add one in Injections → Setup → Compounds.
The basics
| Field | What it's for |
|---|---|
| Name | How it appears everywhere in the app |
| Strength (mg/mL) | Used to work out how much to draw |
| Unit | mg, IU or mcg |
| Dose | The amount per injection |
| Every (days) or weekdays | How often it's due |
| Morning / night time | When the reminder goes off |
| Syringe size | So the draw is shown in units on the right syringe |
Powders
For a powder you mix yourself, enter Powder in vial (mg) and Water added (mL). The app works out the strength for you.
Changing a dose
Change the dose in the compound and choose Dose change applies from. Earlier doses keep the amount you actually took, so your history stays accurate.
Cycles
Under How long, choose Set a cycle to run a compound for a fixed time, like 6 or 12 weeks, instead of indefinitely.
- Pick a length in weeks or days, and when it starts. For "every X days" schedules, the cycle starts on the first dose.
- A preview shows the dates, how many doses fall in the cycle, and the last dose.
- While it runs, the Today screen shows where you are, e.g. Week 3 of 6, and a countdown in the final week. The last dose is marked last of cycle.
- After the last day there are no more reminders or missed doses. The compound moves to Finished cycles on the Today screen.
- Tap New cycle to start the next one, with the same length or a different one. Earlier cycles stay in your history, calendar and doctor report.
Switch back to Ongoing at any time to keep going without an end date.
Pausing
Use Pause from and optionally Resume on for a break. Nothing shows as missed while a compound is paused.
Vial stock
Enter the vial size and what's left, and set Warn when doses left in a vial is at or below. Each logged dose is subtracted. Start a fresh vial with Start a new vial.
Estimated levels
If you enter a half-life, the calendar can show a rough estimate of how the level rises and falls between doses. It's a simple model from what you entered, not a measurement. Only a blood test tells you your real levels.
