Part of your Primary care Doctors job is to keep up-to-date records of all the meds you are taken and then review them with you at least every 6 months. If for some reason they are not networked with all the other Doctor offices you can have your pharmacy print out your records. Worst case bag the bottles up and take them with you.
It's your life or the life of a loved one you are trying to help, if your current PC won't do that it's time to find a new one. Some of NP that do this for them.

@budo7 The pharmacist where I used to live, was instrumental in helping me move between medications if there were reactions to watch. That was when my list of meds were fewer, and from the same health system. No, I have moved, have more meds, different records systems, etc. But I still rely on taking a list to my now-favorite pharmacist to review everything. Apparently there are programs they have access to, to assist them when filling different prescriptions. He is able to look at the big picture, both over the counter and Rx.
