Why medication tracking matters
Up to 50% of patients do not take medications as prescribed. Without a log, your provider cannot tell whether a medication is not working or whether adherence is the issue. Side effect tracking reveals whether problems are medication-related or coincidental.
What to log for each dose
Record:
- Medication name and dose
- Whether you took it (taken, missed, skipped)
- Time taken
- Side effects noticed (nausea, dizziness, fatigue)
- Effectiveness observation
