Medication log Template
What was taken, when, and by whom, so that nobody has to rely on remembering.
Four steps
How to print a medication log

- 3

The prescribed table, copied off the labels rather than out of your head is the line to get right.
Who prints this
Anyone on more than two prescriptions, anyone caring for a parent, and anyone handing over to a second carer partway through a week.
The field that decides whether it works
The prescribed table, copied off the labels rather than out of your head. Doses get misremembered in exactly the direction that is dangerous.
Why it is laid out this way
Prescribed and taken are two separate tables. One is written once from the pharmacy label and does not change; the other is ticked daily. Keeping them apart is what makes a missed dose show up as a gap rather than hide inside a paragraph of notes.
What is on the sheet
4 sections, in this order: Name, Month; Prescribed; Taken; a note. Set the row height anywhere between 6 and 14 mm across its 19 ruled rows, put your own heading at the top, and find the medication log alongside 3 other forms on the productivity forms page.
