Getting the most from a medication review

MedlinePlus suggests reviewing your medicine list with your providers and pharmacists, asking questions about any new medicine, and asking whether it could interact with what you already take. The Health in Aging Foundation recommends bringing a complete list to every visit and to the pharmacy.

Write down the answers during the visit. It's easy to forget details afterwards.

Bring a 30-day report instead

DoseBeacon can export a PDF of current medicines and reported doses, including skipped, not sure and not confirmed, for 7, 30 or 90 days.

Free to download. Free plan includes reminders, 2 active medications and 1 helper.

Appointment prep FAQ

How do I prepare a medication list for a doctor's appointment?

Gather every medicine, including over-the-counter medicines, vitamins and supplements, and copy the name, strength and label instructions. Add allergies, any recent changes, problems you want to discuss, and your questions. Bring the list, or the bottles themselves, to the appointment.

What information should I bring to a pharmacy medication review?

Your complete, dated medication list with strengths and instructions, allergies and reactions, any recent starts, stops or changes, the names of all your prescribers and pharmacies, and specific questions such as whether you still need each medicine.

Should I bring my pill bottles?

Many people find it helpful to bring the bottles or boxes along with the list, so the pharmacist or doctor can check the labels directly. Ask your clinic what they prefer.
