Managing medications for a family member — particularly a child or elderly parent — is one of the most common uses of the Family Hub. Here's how prescriptions and reminders work for family profiles.
Viewing a family member's prescriptions
Open Family Hub → [family member] → Prescriptions. You'll see all prescriptions uploaded or issued to their profile. Prescriptions issued by connected centres through Looms appear automatically. Prescriptions from other providers can be uploaded manually as a record.
Setting up dose reminders
- Open the prescription and tap Set reminder
- Enter the dose times — these are separate from your own medication reminders
- Reminders appear in your notification feed labelled with the family member's name so you don't confuse them with your own
- Tap Mark as given when the dose is administered — this builds a dose log for the family member
Tracking refills
Each prescription shows the number of repeats remaining if the centre has specified this. When a prescription is approaching expiry or running out of repeats, Looms generates a reminder so you can arrange a review appointment in time.
