The Health app on iOS lets you log the medications you intake as a means to track your health and well-being. You can log medications you’ve scheduled as taken or skipped inside Health as well as log those medicines you’re supposed to take when needed. You can view the medications you’ve logged from the Health app at any time.
In case you logged a medicine as taken or skipped by mistake, you can de-log it from your medication history pretty easily. De-logging may also be beneficial if the medicine you consumed came out of your body intact or was vomited within moments of taking it.

FAQs
Can you log back a de-logged medication?
Yes. When you de-log a medication from the Logged section on the Health app, the medication will be sent back to the “Log” section. The Log section will show the scheduled time for each of your medications and any item you de-log will re-appear here so that you log back correctly with the new time stamp.
Can you de-log a medication from a past date?
Yes. You can de-log medications from previous days within the Medications screen. All you need to do is select a day earlier during the week from the top of the Medications screen or swipe rightwards to previous weeks to locate the desired date. When you get to the preferred date, use the same guide as above to de-log a registered medication from your medication history.
That’s all you need to know about de-logging medications on the Health app on an iPhone.
