The tool is simple. People enter their medication names. They add the dosage amounts. Then they set their preferred schedule. Reminders appear as notifications. Users mark doses as taken. This creates a personal record. The record shows adherence over time.

Privacy is a major focus. Facebook states health data stays private. This information is not used for advertising. Users control who sees it. Only the individual user views their medication log by default. Sharing with others is optional.

Many people forget their pills. This problem affects health outcomes. Facebook believes this tool can help. Managing medications is easier with reminders. Consistent tracking supports better health. The company aims to provide useful everyday features.

The medication manager is available now. It is rolling out globally. Users can find it in the Facebook app’s “Health & Wellness” section. Updates are planned based on feedback. Facebook wants to improve the tool continually.

The tool is free for all users. No special setup is required.
