An up-to-date medication list gives your care team a useful starting point. It can help you discuss what you take, how you take it, and any questions or concerns.

Include more than prescriptions

Tell your clinician about all the medicines you take, including over-the-counter products, vitamins, herbal remedies, and other supplements. These are all relevant to the conversation.

Keep the information handy

Bring an up-to-date list or the containers to your appointment. Record the name, dose, and how often you take each item so you do not have to rely on memory.

Share your questions

Mention any difficulties taking a medicine, unwanted effects, or concerns about whether it is helping. Ask your clinician or pharmacist for guidance before making changes to your treatment.
