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.
