How the date is worked out
Each dose you have left covers one more interval after your latest dose: 7 days for a weekly shot, 1 day for a daily pill. With 3 doses left and a latest shot on Tuesday, September 22, the doses on hand cover September 29, October 6 and October 13. The next shot, on October 20, needs new supply. With a 7 day refill time, you order by October 13.
For vials, the tool counts the full doses in each unopened vial (mg in the vial ÷ your prescribed dose, rounded down) and adds the doses left in the one you are using.
Why plan it at all
Refills can take longer than expected: a prescription that needs renewing, an insurance review, a pharmacy that is out of stock. Knowing the date a couple of weeks ahead leaves room for those delays, without keeping count in your head.
