Hints for Your FAA Medical Examination and Keeping Your Pilot Medical Certificate

9.  Understand reporting responsibilities on your FAA medical application

The medical application requires pilots to report all medicines, prescription and non-prescription, that the pilot is using on question 17 of the FAA medical application.  If this is your first time reporting the use of a medication, be sure to include a statement about the absence of any side effects, if true. Over-the-counter "nutritional supplements" are not reportable.

Likewise, the pilot is required to report all visits to health care providers within the last three years, along with the name, address and reason for visit. If a pilot has or has ever had conditions listed on question 18, a check mark in the "yes" block is required. If this information has been previously reported to the FAA, an annotation in the remarks section, "previously reported, no change" is acceptable if there has been no significant change in the medical condition. The pilot may list a "PI#" referencing the condition if one has been assigned to the pilot by the FAA.  If this is a new condition or there has been a change, bringing the appropriate documentation as mentioned above will alleviate most questions regarding certification.
