How to add medication to the Health app

How can I successfully add a medication to the Health app? I follow all the instructions, however, I do not need to insert a time of day. This seems to confuse the app, because although the instructions say, this is optional, if I do not enter a time of day, it refuses to finish the installation that is to say the Next button is greyed out.
