My Medicines list
My Medicines List is a list of all the medicines and supplements you take. Keeping an up-to-date list can help you know your medicines. It can also help you when discussing your medicines with a healthcare professional.
My medicines list is available in 53 different languages.

You can now also keep a medicines list electronically on the HSE Health App. The HSE Health App provides a secure place for you to record a list of your medicines, which can be useful for pharmacy or hospital visits. It also allows you to see a list of your medicines received through the Drugs Payment Scheme or Medical Card Scheme.
Download the HSE Health App from the App Store or Google Play and log in to access your health information.
