FDA Highlights Keeping Medication Lists

Jan 8, 2025

Per the notice below, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is highlighting the importance of creating and maintaining a list of medications you take.

Create and Keep a Medication List for Your Health

Many people of all ages take medications. Keeping track of when, how, and why you use medications is important for your health and safety. A medication list is a tool to help you keep track of all the prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and supplements that you take. Keeping a medication list helps health care professionals know about your current health and minimize medication errors and adverse drug interactions. It can be a lifesaving tool, especially during an emergency. It’s easy to create and maintain a current and accurate list of medications, not just for yourself but also for every member of your family.
