This is something I haven't been able to figure out.

I have a medication that I can take as needed. Currently my schedule is about 10-14 consecutive days until I take a break for 3-4 days.
The drug comes in two strengths with no strict instructions or requirements on which strength to choose. It's just something I decide on each morning. I then log either strength 1 or 2.

However, when setting up Medications in Health, since I couldn't find a way to input two different strengths under one medication, I assumed the app would be intelligent enough to understand that this is the same drug in two different strengths, since they share a name.

But in the app they're treated as separate entities. This means I can't have a single, nice summary view showing both
1. the days on which I have had the drug in my system and
2. which dose I took on which day
Instead I need to look through two views individually and then just try to combine them in my head.

Is there a way to set up multiple strengths for one medication?

I haven’t been able to figure that out neither. I have 1 medication with 2 different strengths as well. I just have to log them separately for right now. Hopefully Apple will implement this in a future update.
