How to Use This Tracker
- Fill in the Medication Name & Dosage Start by writing the name of the medication and the exact dosage as instructed by your doctor.

Additional Tips for Medication Safety:
- Keep Meds in Original Containers The label provides essential information and ensures you don’t mix up medications.
- Set Alarms or Reminders Use phone alarms or sticky notes to stay on track, especially if a dose needs to be given at an exact time.
- Review the Tracker Before Follow-Up Visits If you have a doctor’s appointment, bring the tracker along. It’s a helpful reference for discussing how the medication has been working.
A medication tracker can make all the difference in managing your child’s health effectively. It only takes a few seconds to fill out but offers peace of mind and a clear record of care.
