This is not a good idea for pills.
Without SQL, one could also use org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift, but
AFAIK, the whole idea behind schedule of taking pills is to retain
certain concentration of medicine in the blood flow. Hence .+3d repeater
(3d from the last time taking the pill) is more suitable.
