Here's a free template to help you keep track of your medicine if you keep forgetting how many you have left. https://virtualcuriosities.gumroad.com/l/personal-medicine-inventory-tracking-spreadsheet-for-libreoffice-calc #libreoffice #spreadsheet #template #free #medicine
Free Personal Medicine Inventory Tracking Spreadsheet Template for LibreOffice Calc

I created this spreadsheet in order to tell how much medicine I have left on the PC. After setting how much medicine you consume per day, and how many pills you currently have, the spreadsheet tells you how many days your medicine is going to last. As it's so useful, I figured I'd share it with the world.Supports tracking up to 30 separate drugs, but you can easily extend it if you know how to use LibreOffice Calc. Comes with a simple manual for users new to LibreOffice Calc. This is not an Excel spreadsheet. You must download the free LibreOffice Calc app to use it: https://www.libreoffice.org/It's designed so that the only thing you have to do after setting it up is update 2 cells whenever you get more medicine.
