How Recall counts your stock

2 min read · Updated Oct 29, 2026

Each time a counted dose is logged, Recall takes it out of the restock that expires soonest. If you undo or change the dose, the stock goes back exactly where it came from.

Which stock is used first

Each restock, like a bottle or box, is counted on its own. A dose comes out of the open restock that expires soonest. Restocks without an expiration date are used last.

A dose can be split across two restocks, like the last pill of an old bottle and one from a new one. When a restock reaches zero, it's marked finished with that day's date, so you can see how long it lasted.

Undoing and changing doses

  • Undo or delete puts the stock back into the restock it came from.
  • Changing the amount moves only the difference. Changing 1 pill to 2 takes one more pill.
  • Recall never puts back stock that was never taken, so undoing can't create extra stock.

Logging more than you have

The dose still saves, because the medicine was given. Recall tells you, for example, "Only 2 of 3 pills of Apoquel 16 mg were in the Cabinet. Restock it or adjust the count." Add the restock you missed, or correct the count.

What each status means

StatusWhat it means
In stockSome left, above your low stock alert.
Low stockAt or below the number in Alert me at. Only shows if you've set an alert.
Out of stockNone left, or never restocked.
ExpiredEverything still open is past its expiration date.

If only some of your stock has expired, the product shows how much and when, like "10 of 30 expire Sep 1, 2027".

Good to know

  • A dose logged with an earlier date still comes out of the stock you have now.
  • If two people log the same medication at the same moment, each dose is counted once.
  • Products tracked by rough level are never counted down.
