list

If you take medications, you should carry a medication list with you. You never know when you are going to need that list. If there is an emergency, it is helpful to know what medications you are taking. If you have any allergies, those should be listed as well.

Many Physician’s offices will print out the list for you. Just slip it in your wallet and carry it with you.

As you know, I am a dental hygienist. We update health histories at each appointment. I know that many people are not aware that your dentist needs to know what medications you take. It is actually very important- your mouth is connected to your body after all!

No matter what type of doctor you visit (Eye, Foot, Orthopedic, Dentist etc.) most likely they will want to know what medications you take. Carrying a list makes this process so easy!
