Whether you visit a new healthcare professional or have a question at the pharmacy, having an up-to-date medication list is a practical way to keep important information together.
What can go on your list?
Include the names of medicines you currently take, how you take them, and the reason they were recommended, when known. Remember to mention over-the-counter products, vitamins, supplements, and allergies.
Keep it somewhere accessible
A note on your phone or a small card in your wallet can work. Review it when your medicines change, and make sure it reflects what you actually use.
Bring it into the conversation
Sharing your list with your pharmacist or other healthcare professional can help them ask better questions and identify information that needs to be clarified.
