Prepare a medicine list for your pharmacist
Bring the names, ingredients, strengths and timing of everything you take, including occasional medicines and supplements.
Check your medicine’s official prescribing information and NCCIH’s supplement guidance. Ask a pharmacist to review your exact combination.
Bring a complete list to your pharmacist
Include prescriptions, over-the-counter medicines and supplements, even those you only take occasionally. For each one, write down:
- The product name and its ingredients.
- The strength on the label and how much you take.
- How often you take it and at what times.
Bring the packages if that's easier. Ask which combinations need changing, which need different timing, and whether you need any tests.
