MEDICATION CHECKLIST
1. What is the name of the medication, and why
am I taking it?
2. When and how do I take it? Do I take it at the
same time every day?
3. What if I miss a dose?
4. Is there a generic or other less expensive drug
I can take?
5. Should I take this medication on an empty
stomach or with food?
6. Can it be crushed or do I need to swallow
it whole?
7. How long should I take it?
8. Does this medication contain anything to which
I may have had a previous allergic reaction
(i.e., penicillin, sulfa, etc.)?
9. Should I avoid alcohol, certain foods, activities or
other prescription or over-the-counter drugs?
10. Are there any possible side effects such as
drowsiness? Any dizziness?
11. Could this medication interact with other
medications I take?
12. Where should I store this medication? Does it
need to be refrigerated?
13. Can I have written instructions?
I pray and hope that this checklist helps someone today. Praying for a pain free day.
