Keeping a medication record card can help you, your doctors and family members keep tabs on the prescriptions, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins and supplements you take. It can also come in handy if you need hospital care and need to inform nurses or other healthcare professionals about your medications.
Using a medication card is easy – simply fill in what medications you're taking, the dosage and how often you take them. Then, keep the card in a convenient place, like a wallet or purse, in case you need it.
