Never run out

Enter the box size and dose once. The sheet counts down every day and turns amber, then red, when it's time to get a new script filled.

One page for the doctor

The Doctor Visit sheet fills itself in from the medicine list and recent notes — print it, or show it on your phone.

Emergency page for the fridge

Allergies, conditions, medicines and who to call, on one A4 page paramedics can read in seconds.

Built from real caregiving

When a parent is on a dozen medicines, sees several specialists and has more than one family member helping, things slip: a script runs out on a weekend, nobody remembers what the last doctor said. This kit keeps it all in one shared file so nobody has to hold it in their head. It's tested, ready to fill in, and starts with a worked example. No app to install, no account, no subscription — it's your file.

Questions

Do I need Excel?

No. It works in free Google Sheets (open it in Drive and choose "Make a copy"), and in Excel 2019 or later.

Can my brother or sister use it too?

Yes — that's the point. Share your Google Sheets copy with the family and everyone sees the same, up-to-date list.

Is my parent's information sent anywhere?

No. The file lives in your own Google Drive or computer. We never see it.

Is this medical advice?

No. It's an organiser. Always follow your doctor's and pharmacist's instructions.
