This is a printable medical wallet card set built for a real medicine list, not a few short lines. If you take nine medicines, have two allergies and a pacemaker, a few lines is not a record.
You type your medicines, allergies, conditions, devices and contacts once, in a fillable PDF record, and a whole coordinated set of wallet cards fills in from it — plus a fridge sheet and a phone lock-screen card. The medicine count, the allergy summary and the dates need the free Adobe Acrobat Reader on a computer; see which PDF reader to use.
This is a record-keeping card set, not medical advice. It holds what you and your doctors already know, in a form someone else can read quickly. It contains no dosing guidance and no clinical advice.
A medical wallet card with room for a real medication list
The wallet card shows your first 5 medicines, with the dose and how often. When there are more, it counts them and prints a line saying so — ”+ 4 more on the fold-out” in the worked example — so whoever reads the card knows there is more to find.
The rest go on the medicine fold-out: a three-panel strip, each panel the same 85.6 × 54 mm as the card, carrying medicines 6 to 16 with the dose, how often and what each one is for. It folds up and tucks behind the wallet card. The record has room for 16 medicines in all.
Type it once, and every card fills in
Everything starts on My Record, three fillable pages: about you, your medicines, your allergies, conditions and implanted devices, your emergency contacts, and the people who rely on you. Each card in the set is filled from those pages, so the wallet card, the allergy card and the contacts card all draw on the same entries. Change a dose on the record, and every card that shows it changes with it.
Allergy, intolerance or drug reaction — recorded as what it is
On the record you mark each entry as an allergy, an intolerance or an adverse drug reaction, with its severity and what happens. The allergy card sums them up in one line — “2 allergies · 1 intolerance · 1 adverse drug reaction” in the example — so a lactose intolerance is listed as an intolerance, not as an allergy like penicillin. The guide explains the difference for the record.
A review-by date on every wallet card
There is one date on the record: the day you last updated it. Every card prints that date, and a review-by date 6 months later, so an old card in a wallet drawer is easy to tell from a current one.
Wallet cards for caregivers, kids and implanted devices
There are 8 card designs, each bank-card size (85.6 × 54 mm, about 3.4 × 2.1 in): seven fold-over front-and-back cards and a 3-panel medicine fold-out.
- Medicines — the wallet card, showing the first five
- The medicine fold-out — three panels for medicines 6 to 16
- Allergies and reactions
- Conditions and implanted devices, with the device’s MRI label
- Emergency contacts and next of kin
- If I can’t get home — who has a spare key, who takes the pets, who picks up the kids
- A child’s card for a backpack or a sitter
- I am a caregiver — for when someone depends on you, and who to call if you are hurt
The same record also fills a half-page fridge sheet and a phone lock-screen card: save that page as an image and set it as your wallpaper.
Which PDF reader to use
One honest note on the fillable file. In the free Adobe Acrobat Reader on a computer, everything fills in, including the medicine count, the fold-out line, the allergy summary and the dates. In Apple Preview, the text you type still copies onto every card, but those counted and dated lines stay blank. Some phone apps and browser PDF viewers may also leave them blank, so fill in the file in Adobe Acrobat Reader on a computer, or use the blank set.
A blank print-and-cut set ships alongside in case you would rather write the cards by hand.
Print it at the right size
Page 1 of the fillable set and of the blank set is a printer check: a box the exact size of a bank card and a 50 mm ruler. Print at 100% (Actual size), measure, then cut. A cut, fold and laminate page covers trim, fold lines and when to make a new set. Both card sets come in US Letter and A4.
Start with the free emergency contacts card
There is a free, ungated Emergency Contacts Wallet Card on this site — no email, no signup. It is one bank-card-size card from this set: who to call and how to reach them on the front, your doctor, pharmacy and language on the back. It comes filled in for an invented household so you can see a finished one, then as a blank sheet to print, write on, cut and fold.
What it deliberately leaves out is the reason this set exists. It has no medicine list, no fold-out, no allergy card and no review-by date, and you write every line by hand. Carry the free card today; the set is for when the medicines and allergies need to travel with you too.
Private by design, and yours to keep
The fillable PDF works offline in a PDF reader on your own computer, so nothing you type is uploaded to a website. It is a one-time download with no account and no subscription — reprint the set whenever your medicines change.
Not medical advice. This set organizes information you already have. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about anything to do with your medicines or conditions. For keeping a whole household’s medicines straight between doctor visits, see how to track family medications.
