free worksheet from rox · talktorox.com · not medical advice
the free medication tracker does the same thing in your browser and works out the patterns for you. rox is the free ios app behind it: it remembers every entry, reads your apple watch, oura, garmin or amazfit, and builds a summary a doctor can read in a minute.
how to use it
A medication list is the single most useful piece of paper you can carry. Any new clinician, pharmacist or emergency team will ask what you take, and a written answer is faster and safer than trying to recall doses under pressure.
Keep it current rather than perfect. Add the date you started something, because that is what makes it possible to connect a new side effect to the change that caused it.
01
what should a medication list include?
every medication with its dose and how often you take it, plus anything over the counter and any supplements, since those interact too. add what each one is for and when you started it. those last two turn a list into something a clinician can actually reason about.
02
how often should i update it?
any time something changes, and always before an appointment. a list that is three months out of date is worse than no list, because people will act on it.
03
is this the same as a medication schedule?
a list is what you take; a schedule is when you take it. this template has a when column so it covers both for most people. if you want to tick doses off daily, use the free medication tracker instead.
free to use and share. rox is a tracking tool, not medical advice, and it cannot diagnose or treat anything.
