Hello Carole_Ries,



Thanks for that info and for choosing the Apple Support Communities. If we understand correctly, you are wanting to edit the time a medication is taken in the Health app on your iPhone. To do this, please see if these steps help from this Apple resource Track your medications in Health on iPhone - Apple Support:



"Change the schedule for a medication or update other information
1. Tap Browse at the bottom right, then tap Medications.
2. Scroll down to Your Medications, then do any of the following:
* Change the schedule for a medication: Tap a medication, scroll down to Schedule, tap Edit, then tap a field to change it.
* Change the icon, nickname, or notes for a medication: Tap a medication, scroll down to Details, tap Edit to change the icon or tap either of the text fields, then make your changes.
* Reorder your list: Tap Edit above the list of your medications, touch and hold the Reorder button for a medication, then drag it to a new position.
* Archive a medication: Swipe left on its name in the list of your medications, then tap Archive.
* Make an archived medication reappear in your list of medications: Tap Edit above the list of your medications, then tap the Add button next to the medication name. Any schedule you previously set is not preserved.
* Delete a medication: Tap a medication, scroll down, then tap Delete Medication.
* Change how you receive notifications about taking medications: See View and respond to notifications on iPhone and Change notification settings on iPhone.
10. When you’re finished, tap Done."
