FAQs

Q: Does the checklist change with my situation?
A: No. It starts as one list of 18 items. It does not ask questions or adapt, but you can add your own items and remove the ones you do not need.
Q: Are my ticks saved?
A: Yes. Ticks are saved in your browser on this device, so they are still there when you come back. They are not sent anywhere and do not follow you to another device or browser.
Q: How do I start again?
A: Untick the items you have done. Clearing your browser data for this site also removes the saved ticks.
Q: Does it say what to take or how much?
A: No. It lists items to have on hand. Ask a doctor or pharmacist what is right for you and your family, including doses and anything unsuitable for children.
