How to Share Your Medication Log from the Health App

Apple Health lets you share a medication list as a PDF copy or give a contact access to selected Health data. Here’s how to set up and manage either option.
Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

You can share your medication log from Apple Health in two ways: export it as a PDF copy, or share selected Health data with a person through the app. Choose the PDF when someone needs a file to view or pass along; choose Health sharing when you want to manage that person’s access in Health.

Choose how you want to share the medication log

Option What the recipient gets Best for
Export PDF A shareable copy of your medication list. Apple describes this as an exported copy, not a live document that updates automatically. Apple Support: Add and log medications Sending a file by a messaging or mail app available on your iPhone.
Share through Health Access to selected Health data topics through Health, with controls to review, change, or stop sharing. Apple Support: Share your data in Health Giving a selected person access you can manage in the app.

Export a PDF copy of your medication list

  1. Open the Health app on your iPhone.
  2. Open Medications.
  3. Scroll down and tap Export PDF.
  4. Tap the Share button, then choose an available option, such as a messaging or mail app.

The PDF is a copy of the list at the time you export it. If your list changes later, export and share a new copy so the recipient has the updated information. Apple’s instructions describe PDF export and sharing in its medication guide.

Share selected Health data with someone

  1. Open Health and tap Sharing.
  2. Tap Share with Someone for first-time setup, or Add another person to add someone to an existing setup.
  3. Find and select the person in Contacts. The person must be saved in your Contacts.
  4. Choose See Suggested Topics or Set Up Manually.
  5. Select the topics you want to share, continue through the prompts, then tap Share and Done.

Apple says you receive a notification after the person accepts the invitation. Follow the labels shown on your iPhone, since navigation and availability can vary by iOS version and region. See Apple’s Health sharing instructions for the documented workflow.

Update or stop an existing Health share

Add a medication to a shared list

If you add a medication after you started sharing, Apple says you can add it to the shared list. Review the sharing settings for that person to include the new medication. Apple Support: Track your medications

End access

Use Stop Sharing in Health to end a person’s access. Removing them from Contacts alone does not stop information sharing. For a provider, Apple’s instructions refer to the Remove Account control. Apple Support: Share your data in Health

Use the medication log as health information, not medical advice

Apple cautions that “The Medications feature is not a substitute for professional medical judgment.” Sharing a list does not validate whether a medication or dose is appropriate. Consult a healthcare provider before making health decisions. Apple Support: Track your medications in Health on iPhone

Thus, no need to be frustrated with the missing fonts of "Tuesday" or icons of "PM", and worry about mistakenly taking the wrong tablets.
  • BPA-Free Material. This pill case is pretty safe because of being made of food grade materials. You would be worry-free with the BPA-free pill boxes and organizer when storing multiple pill regimes inside. With the transparent plastic lid, it's quite easy to distinguish the pills in each dose without opening the lids.
