Seeing and deleting past entries

On Track Symptoms, tap the history icon at the top to open Side Effects History, grouped by day. Tap + there to log a new entry. To remove one, tap the three-dot menu on it and choose Delete.

If you pick several symptoms at once, each is saved as its own entry with the same severity and notes. Days with a side effect get an extra dot in the Calendar.

When to get help

Logging a reaction does not tell anyone about it. If a reaction feels severe, get medical help first and log it later. For an injection site reaction that worries you, contact your clinician.
