Your medication list should include:
Prescription medications
Over-the-counter medicines
Vitamins and supplements
Dosages and how often you take them
Why does it matter?
• Helps your doctors and pharmacists avoid medication interactions
• Makes it easier to receive the correct medications in an emergency
• Helps prevent missed or duplicate medications
• Keeps your healthcare providers informed about what you are taking
• Makes appointments and hospital visits easier and more efficient
Tip: Review your medication list regularly and update it whenever a medication is added, stopped, or changed.
Keep a copy in your wallet or phone, and consider sharing a copy with a trusted family member or caregiver.
