Why it matters

When bleeding risk information needs to be clear

Blood thinner and anticoagulant details can be important context when someone is injured, bleeding, dizzy, confused or unable to explain their medication history. In a stressful moment, relying on memory, old paperwork or a few engraved words may not be enough.

This page is for people who may need others to quickly understand that they take a blood thinner, what medication details they choose to share, who to contact and which treating team or doctor may be relevant.

How MyQRMed helps

Medication details that can change anytime

Blood thinner information can change when doses are adjusted, medications are switched or new health issues are added. A MyQRMed QR profile can be updated online instead of relying on old engraving or paper notes.

The QR code can be scanned with a smartphone camera and can show selected medication, allergy, condition and emergency contact information in one place. It does not replace medical care, but it may support clearer communication when you cannot explain everything yourself.

Customer feedback

I got the ID kit and it is really helpful as I am on so many medications that are impossible to remember. Next pay I am going to get the keyring as well.
