From the label to the app
| What the label says | What PepLabo does with it |
|---|---|
| Take the tablet on an empty stomach in the morning with up to 4 ounces of water [1]. | Set a morning reminder at the time you choose; each log saves the exact time you took it. |
| Wait at least 30 minutes before eating, drinking or taking other oral medicines [1]. | PepLabo has no 30-minute countdown. The time saved with your log is there if you want to check it. |
| If a dose is missed, skip it and take the next dose the following day [1]. | A follow-up arrives 30 minutes after a missed dose time. PepLabo never suggests taking two. |
