How to Set Medicine Reminders on WhatsApp

Setting up medicine reminders on WhatsApp with PillMitra is incredibly easy — just 3 steps. No app to download, no cost.

We all know how easy it is to forget medicines — especially when you take several every day. Pill organizers, phone alarms — people try them all, but they often don’t stick.

PillMitra is a different approach. It works on WhatsApp — the app that’s already on your phone and that you use every day.

Step 1: Send "Hi" on WhatsApp

Go to PillMitra’s WhatsApp number: +91 85744 07758. Just send "Hi". PillMitra will welcome you and ask for your language.

Hindi, English, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali — chat in whichever language you like.

Step 2: Send a photo of your prescription

Take a photo of your doctor’s prescription and send it to PillMitra on WhatsApp. With the help of AI, PillMitra extracts the medicine name, dose and timing on its own.

You don’t have to type anything manually. PillMitra confirms everything with you — then your reminders are set.

Step 3: Reminders start arriving!

At the time of your next dose, PillMitra sends you a message on WhatsApp. After taking your medicine, just tap "✅ Took it". To skip, tap "❌ Skip".

At night, PillMitra sends you a summary of the whole day — how many medicines you took on time.

Add your family too

If there are elderly people at home, you can become their caregiver on PillMitra. If they don’t take a dose, you get notified.
