Always bring your list of medications Have you ever gone to the emergency room or walk-in clinic and wondered why you were asked what type of medications you were taking? The short answer is simple ­ some medication combinations can produce bad reactions. It is very important that your healthcare team know what prescription and non-prescription medications you take at home before deciding on how to best treat your current or chronic condition. Always carry a complete and accurate listing of all the medications you're taking on a regular basis. Put it in your wallet or purse and be sure to update it regularly. This includes prescription drugs, over-the counter medication such as vitamins, supplements or herbal remedies and any other non-prescription medications such as cold or pain medication. Make sure you include the dosage and frequency of each medication you are taking.
