Frequently Asked Questions

Should I include vitamins and over-the-counter medicines?

Yes. Doctors and pharmacists check for interactions with supplements and over-the-counter medicines too, so list everything you take.

Does this replace advice from my doctor or pharmacist?

No. The log is a record to help you and your care team. Always follow the instructions on the label and from your doctor or pharmacist.

Is this medication log template really free?

Yes, completely free. No signup, no email, no catch. Just download the PDF and use it.

What size is the medication log template?

The template is formatted for standard US Letter (8.5 x 11 inches) and also works well on A4 paper.

Can I type into the medication log PDF?

Yes. Choose “Download fillable PDF”: every writing space is a text field and every checkbox can be ticked. Open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader (free on desktop, iPhone and Android), Preview on a Mac, or Chrome or Edge, type your answers, then save or print it. Longer boxes wrap your text onto new lines. If you would rather write by hand, use “Download printable PDF”, which has ruled lines instead.
