• Information about contacts with your GP in the last four months.
• Recent measurements and results.
• The medications that your doctor has prescribed for you.
• The medicines you received from the pharmacy.
• Information about allergies and hypersensitivity to certain medications.
• Details that are important for an acting general practitioner.

The medication file at your pharmacist(s) contains information such as:

• The medication you have been given.
• Information about allergies and hypersensitivity to certain medications.
