Cost per protocol
The Cost per Protocol section shows estimated costs based on your active protocol medications, as cost per dose and about how much per month.
Medications set to As Needed have no fixed schedule, so their monthly cost is based on the doses you actually logged so far this calendar month. It resets at the start of each month.
