Your Medication Passport — Every Medicine, One Secure Record
Keep prescriptions, over-the-counter medicines, allergies and reactions in one portable record you can share with any clinician, pharmacist or carer — in seconds.
A medication passport is your personal, always-current list of everything you take — dose, frequency, prescriber, why you take it, and how you react to it. It replaces scribbled lists, screenshots and out-of-date printouts with one authoritative record that follows you between GP visits, pharmacy hand-offs and hospital admissions.
Why a medication passport matters
Safer hospital admissions
When you arrive at A&E or a pre-op assessment, clinicians see the same up-to-date list you use at home — no gaps, no guesswork.
Better medication reviews
Bring a complete record — including OTC medicines and supplements — so your prescriber can deprescribe, adjust or renew with full context.
Effortless carer hand-offs
Family and paid carers see exactly what you take without needing to unpack a drawer of blister packs.
Allergies flagged automatically
PillarMeds Pro cross-checks every new medicine against your documented allergies and warns you before a reaction happens.
What lives inside your passport
Current medicines
Prescriptions, over-the-counter tablets, inhalers, patches, drops, vitamins and supplements — each with dose, timing and food rules.

What you tried, when you stopped, and why — invaluable for prescribers considering options.
Appointment-ready summary

Frequently asked questions
- What is a medication passport?
- A medication passport is a portable, up-to-date record of every medicine you take — including dose, frequency, prescriber, allergies and reactions. It travels with you between GP visits, pharmacies, hospital admissions and carers so nothing gets lost between systems.
- How is a medication passport different from a repeat prescription list?
- A repeat prescription only lists ongoing NHS items. A medication passport also captures over-the-counter medicines, supplements, PRN doses, allergies, side effects, past medicines you stopped and why — the full clinical picture.
- Who should keep a medication passport?
- Anyone on more than one regular medicine, carers managing a family member's medicines, people with complex conditions, and anyone preparing for surgery, a hospital stay or a medication review benefits from a medication passport.
- Can I share my medication passport with my GP or pharmacist?
- Yes. PillarMeds Pro produces a printable, appointment-ready PDF summary that includes your current medicines, the next seven days of scheduled doses, allergies and a privacy notice — ready to hand to any clinician.
- Is my medication passport secure?
- Your record is stored in encrypted UK/EU cloud storage behind modern authentication. Only you can see it — carers only receive read-only access when you invite them with a unique access code, and access can be revoked at any time.
- Does a medication passport replace medical advice?
- No. A medication passport is a record-keeping tool. Do not change how you take a medication unless advised by a qualified healthcare professional.
