LOINC description : Participants are asked to bring all their current medications with them at the time
of their appointment. For prescription medications, the interviewer records the name
of the medications, the strength, the number prescribed and the actual amount taken
during the last two weeks. For over-the-counter medications (including vitamins and
supplements), the interviewer records the name, strength and actual amount consumed
in the previous two weeks. Researchers should review the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
Medication (MESA) Methods section in the Diabetes Supplemental Information for specific
directions on coding medications (see Diabetes Supplemental Information MESA Manual
of Operations). The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) maintains a searchable database
of brand name drugs, generic drugs and therapeutic biological products which is useful
in classifying the medications. Record 20 letters only. Please print clearly.;
