Medication History — Every Dose, Every Event, In One Timeline

A searchable audit trail of taken, missed and skipped doses, medicines started and stopped, side effects logged, and reviews recorded — ready to share at your next appointment.

Your medication history is more than a list of pills. It's a record of how those medicines have played out in real life — the doses you took on time, the ones you missed, the side effects that made you stop, and the reviews your prescriber ran. PillarMeds Pro captures each of these events automatically as you use the app.

What your history captures

  • Every dose logged

    Taken, missed and skipped doses are time-stamped so nothing relies on memory.

  • Start and stop events

    When you added a medicine and when you stopped it — with the reason if you recorded one.

  • Side effects and reactions

    A structured log of side effects, plus any documented allergies for automatic cross-checks.

  • Filter and search

    Narrow by medicine, event type or date range — useful for medication reviews and appointments.

  • Appointment-ready export

    Print a branded PDF summary in one tap for GP visits, hospital stays and pharmacy reviews.

  • Private by default

    Stored in encrypted UK/EU cloud storage; only shared with carers you invite.

When your medication history matters most

Medication reviews

A full timeline lets your prescriber deprescribe, adjust or renew with real evidence — not memory.

Hospital admissions

A&E teams and admitting clinicians can see exactly what you've taken in the last 24-48 hours.

Switching prescribers

Moving GP, seeing a new specialist or changing pharmacy — arrive with a complete history in hand.

Side-effect investigations

Timelines make it far easier to spot which new medicine coincided with a new symptom.

How to view and export your history

  1. Open History to browse your full timeline.
  2. Filter by medicine or event to focus on a specific question.
  3. Head to Summary and export the appointment-ready PDF — including the next seven days of scheduled doses.

Safety reminder: Your medication history is a record-keeping tool. Do not change how you take a medication unless advised by a qualified healthcare professional.

Frequently asked questions

What is a medication history?
A medication history is a time-stamped record of every dose you have taken, missed or skipped, along with events like starting a new medicine, stopping it, side effects and medication reviews. Clinicians use it to make safer decisions and avoid duplications.
Why do doctors ask for a medication history?
A full medication history helps prescribers understand what you've already tried, what worked, what caused side effects, and what you're currently taking — including over-the-counter items. It is essential for medication reviews, hospital admissions and pre-op assessments.
How far back does PillarMeds Pro store my medication history?
As long as your account is active, every dose log, missed dose, start, stop, side effect and review is retained in your history. You can filter by medicine, event type or date range and export a summary at any time.
Can I see missed doses in my medication history?
Yes. Missed and skipped doses are recorded automatically when a scheduled time passes without being ticked off, so your history reflects reality rather than intent.
Can I export my medication history for a hospital appointment?
Yes. PillarMeds Pro generates a branded PDF summary with your current medicines and the next seven days of doses. You can also review your full timeline on screen in the History module.
Is my medication history private?
Yes. It's stored in encrypted UK/EU cloud storage and only visible to you. Carers you invite receive read-only access with a unique code — you can revoke that access at any time.
