Starting a New Medicine: The Keep It Together Care New Medicine Checklist
Gather the full picture before a new medicine starts, and keep it up to date afterwards.
A pharmacist or doctor can only check how medicines mix if they know everything the person takes, including things bought from a shop. This checklist helps you write it all down, take the right questions with you, get the check done and record every change. It does not say whether a medicine is safe, whether medicines mix, or what to take. UK-focused, with England detail.
