As part of taking a drug history, it is important to collect information on any allergies a patient may have to drugs, their alcohol or recreational drug use, the use of nutritional supplements or herbs, and the illness or symptoms for which the drug is needed. The time of day preferred for taking drugs is not typically relevant to the drug history. Additionally, the strategies used to care for the patient is not a part of the drug history, but rather a part of the care plan.
