Medicine warnings — FAQ
What is a Schedule H or Schedule X warning?
Schedule H means the medicine needs a doctor's prescription. Schedule X is even stricter — usually opioids and habit-forming drugs. Pharmacies must keep records of these sales.
Can ImproveIt warn me about pregnancy-unsafe medicines?
Yes — if pregnancy or breastfeeding is set in your profile, the app flags any medicine you scan that is known to be unsafe or requires extra caution.
What does 'do not consume with alcohol' actually mean?
Combining alcohol with that medicine can cause liver damage, severe nausea, dangerous blood pressure drops, or excessive drowsiness depending on the drug.
