The Medications Record

With chronic diseases a medication list is critically important 

In our complex healthcare system, so many individuals are treated by specialists for different illnesses.  It is of utmost importance to always show each of your doctors a current and up to date Medication Record (See: “General Forms” section) listing of all of your, or your clients medications.

Bring a list of all the prescription and over-the-counter medications being taken, including vitamins and herbal supplements for the doctor to review.

Keep the list current by adding new information or any changes, such as:

Increased or decreased dosage.

Reactions or allergies.

When and why a medication was stopped. 

Always maintain the original list and have the doctor’s office make a copy for their file.

A pocket size Medication Card is a convenient way to keep pertinent insurance cards and health information together.

An updated medication records list leaves no room for error.
