Keep a Medication List: Maintain a list of all your medications, including the name, dosage, and frequency. Keep this list handy and share it with all your healthcare providers.

Ideally, you should discuss prescription and over-the-counter medications, herbal preparations, and supplements that you take with your health care provider at each visit. This will confirm if the medications are still necessary, if the supplements are appropriate, and to determine which ones you can stop taking, if any.
