Edit dosage time on medications

Is there a way to change the dosage reminder time? I changed time zones for a week and now my medication reminders are off by an hour. I’m sure I can delete the medication and then add a new one, it’s just more convenient to edit the time.

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

Hello _darling33,


Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities. We understand that you've temporarily changed time zones and would like your Dose Reminders to reflect that.


According to the following support article, "If you change time zones, you'll also receive a notification that your time zone has changed. Tap the notification and confirm the details of your medication schedule."

Add and log medications with iPhone and Apple Watch - Apple Support


If you didn't get the notification, we recommend checking your Time Zone Settings:


  1. Make sure that you have the latest version of iOS or iPadOS.
  2. Turn on Set Automatically in Settings > General > Date & Time. This automatically sets your date and time based on your time zone.
  3. If a message appears saying that updated time zone information is available, restart your device and any paired Apple Watch.
  4. Allow your device to use its current location to determine the correct time zone. To do this, go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services and turn on Setting Time Zone.
  5. Check that your device shows the correct time zone in Settings > General > Date & Time > Time Zone.
