Medications and Over-the-counter (OTC) Products:
Enter participant meds and OTC products in the MEDICATION TABLE below the KEY. Remember to add items like aspirin and allergy meds. Remember to add items used infrequently or via other routes like injected, topical or inhaled.
Instead of filling out the table below, you may upload a full medication list under the table. However, in order to complete the assessment, the uploaded list will need to contain the information in the KEY below for each product. If incomplete information is provided in the upload, we may need to reach out for more information which will delay your consult and/or result in less reliable information.
KEY:
