My medicines: a list and a daily check
“Did I already take it?” Write down what you take and when. Tick each medicine as you take it, and the page keeps the time. Print the list for your wallet and every appointment, and a week chart for the fridge. For yourself, or for someone you look after.
Good to know
What this page can’t do
- It can’t remind you. It does not ring or send a notification. If you need an alarm, set one on your phone or a clock.
- It knows nothing about medicines. It can’t tell whether a name or an amount is right, or whether two medicines are safe together.
- It can’t see what you did. A tick means the button was pressed.
- It does not move to another phone or computer. Print or copy the list to take it with you.
Missed one, or not sure?
We can’t tell you what to do about a missed dose or a possible double dose: the answer is different for each medicine. A pharmacist can tell you, and you can usually ask one without an appointment. The leaflet that came with the medicine often covers it too. If it might be too much, call the Poison Help line above.
Things people often find helpful
- Copy from the label with the bottle or box in your hand.
- Put everything on the list, including what you buy without a prescription.
- Take the printed list to every appointment and to the pharmacy, and ask them to look it over.
- Change the list the same day a medicine is started, stopped or changed.
- Give a copy to someone you trust.
These are everyday ideas in our own words, not medical advice. If one does not suit you, leave it out.
Keeping the list for someone else
You can keep this for a parent, a child or someone you care for. If they can take part, make it with them: it is their health and their information. If more than one person gives the medicines, the paper week chart next to the medicines is the one place everybody can see, because this page lives on one device only.
Guides and tools that go with this
- My emergency card: a wallet card with who to call, your allergies and your medicines. If you made one on this device, step 2 can bring its medicines in.
- Get ready for your appointment: one page to hand your doctor.
- My day: a picture schedule that shows what is happening now and what comes next.
- A doctor when you can’t pay and looking after someone.
- Getting older and dementia: plain guides with checked phone lines.
- Save these tools on your phone so they open without a signal.
The tool and its wording were written with AI (Claude) for Scarlet Beast (our AI policy). It was not reviewed by a pharmacist, a nurse or a doctor. Also in Spanish: Mis medicamentos; both pages keep the same list on this device, so a list made on one opens on the other with that page’s headings. Ticks older than 35 days are removed from this device automatically. Found a mistake? Email [email protected].
