If you’re connected to your GP record, you’ll also be able to view any medications prescribed by your GP, keeping your complete medication history in one place. Here's how to do this:

1. In the medications section in 'My Health Record,' tap on the medication prescribed by your GP - this will have an 'i' information icon and the words 'Imported from Gp Record' underneath in a grey rectangular box.
2. Tap the 'i' information icon and it will come up with some information and a list of options for you to update how often you take this medication, or confirm whether or not you're still taking it. You can also indicate that you're taking a different dose to what was prescribed.
3. Tap on which option best describes your current information

All done - dose confirmed! This helps you take control of your medications and have your own up-to-date, accurate medicines record.
