My Medications List
My HealtheVet presents a blended view of medications used by the My HealtheVet user: those prescribed by VA clinicians that are extracted from VA medical records, those entered in the VA medical records by a VA a staff member and those self-entered that are non-VA prescriptions as well as over-the-counter (OTC), herbals and supplements.
When this My Medications List is printed and provided to your health care provider, it can provide additional information for clinicians that might otherwise be unavailable, and which has the potential to alert clinicians to a possible life-threatening drug interaction.
