From the label to the app
| What the label says | What PepLabo does with it |
|---|---|
| Take one tablet once daily, with or without food [1]. | Daily reminder at a time that suits you; each log keeps the exact time. |
| Missed dose: take it as soon as possible [1]. | A follow-up arrives 30 minutes after a missed dose time; you log the tablet when you take it. |
| If 7 or more doses in a row are missed, the label describes restarting the escalation at a lower dosage [1]. | Today shows your last dose and how long ago it was, so a gap of several days is visible at a glance. PepLabo never changes a dose. |
| Store at room temperature, 20–25 °C, with excursions allowed to 15–30 °C [1]. | Add the pack with its expiry date for reminders a week before and on the day. |
