One more note, Shushu!  If you're sending the data to Health using
AuthSub or OAuth, the user will not be able to change the information
sent, they will only be able to delete the medication or add notes.
If you've requested read/write access for your application, however,
you will be able to retrieve/sync user-entered medications.  I hope
this helps!
