How to change the dosage on medication from 25 mg to 50 mg in the Health app

The doctor is supposed to write a new prescription to change the dosage. It's legally considered a new drug. So you have to add a new medication, you cannot change the dosage of the old one.

You can archive or remove the old one, or just change its schedule to as-needed.

So far, my only options were to "archive" and add a new one-if the doctor changed the dosage - or if I made the error to delete the wrong dosage one and add a new one. This app doesn't appear -as of yet how to edit the dosage.

For arguments sake, I have a medication that the doctor told me to take 1 tab, if I don’t get the desired effect, increase by one tab, and so on up to a maximum. So for example the ordered dose was take 10 to 30mg nightly.

Same goes for getting off a medication. Doctor verbally tells me to decrease by one pill see what happens, go back up if I don’t like the effect. The doctor didn’t write me 2 prescriptions for this. I just kept using the “10-30mg” prescription.

I'm just surprised that Apple wouldn’t allow it to be edited easily. I just use this as record keeping just to keep track. It’s not like this goes to my doctor. It’s my data and the doctor doesn’t have a right to it. So why make it so hard to edit the dose?

I get what you are saying but this is just a record for peoples personal use. Since time began people’s tablets can be downgraded to a different dosage. This is just Apple developers being lazy and not thinking about this scenario.
