How to Display Your Medications in the Health App’s Summary Screen on iPhone

iOS’ Health app makes it easy for you to monitor your medical conditions, track your fitness results and overall health, and manage your prescribed medications. Ideally, you can access all of your medication by going to Summary > Medications inside the Health app. If you, however, wish to access your medications quickly, you can add them directly inside the Summary tab so that you can check whether you took or skipped the last medicine you scheduled within the Summary screen.
