Does this actually work? I tried reloading and it didn't seem to give me credit.

You can use medi-gel by pressing 'Y' on your gamepad to heal Shepard and her/his companions. The higher the difficulty, the more often you'll have to utilize it. Do it 50 times and the achievement will pop-up.
Please be aware that certain skills will allow you to use medi-gel more often.

I just want to add to the two guides above.
I had issues unlocking this, I tried about 4 different times on playthroughs of ME: 1 and it would just not unlock for me. And I'm sure I used well over 200 medi-gel across these playthroughs.
So I assumed that my save file and or tracker for the achievement was glitched.
So I went and deleted all my saves from the cloud, and started completely fresh.
So here's what I did.
Once you get into the first area, Put the game difficulty on Insanity so you take more damage from grenades that you throw, You have about 4 grenades to start. Look to the ground throw them and detonate until your health is below half (I did this cause I wasn't sure if maybe if you used medi-gel when your health was above half that it wouldn't add to the counter). After make a save once you are able to while your health is below half. Then proceed to use 1 medi-gel. Reload save and repeat.
After 50 it unlocked for me first try. I counted to make sure.
Hope this helps with anyone having issues with this.

Medi-gel is used by pressing at any time. You will get plenty of this throughout the game, so it should come naturally as you progress and get in battles. However, you can easily save with a full stock of it, use it all, then reload your save and repeat to get it out of the way quickly if you'd like.
