Why should I bring a medication list to my appointment?

Bringing a complete, up-to-date medication list helps your GP, pharmacist, or hospital check for interactions, avoid duplicates, and make safe prescribing decisions. It's especially important if you see multiple doctors, take 5 or more medications, or are attending a new provider, hospital, or emergency department.

What should I include on my medication list?

Include all prescription medications, over-the-counter medications you take regularly (paracetamol, ibuprofen, antihistamines, etc.), vitamins and supplements, herbal or natural remedies, eye drops, inhalers, patches, and creams. For each, note the name, dose, how often you take it, and who prescribed it.
