1. Purpose of MediTime

MediTime is designed solely as a timing and tracking tool to help users monitor when Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) and Ibuprofen doses were administered and when the next doses are available according to standard dosing intervals. The app's purpose is to:

• Help users track the timing of medication doses
• Provide visual countdowns between doses
• Maintain a record of medication administration
• Help prevent accidental overdosing by timing intervals between doses

2. Not Medical Advice

MediTime does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations. The app does not:

• Prescribe medications
• Diagnose medical conditions

• Replace consultation with qualified healthcare professionals
• Provide personalized healthcare guidance

Any medication information provided within the app is generic and for reference purposes only. Individual medical needs vary, and only a qualified healthcare provider can assess your specific situation.
