English term
HOME MEDICATIONS AND DISCHARGE MEDICATIONS
English to Spanish
Medical
Medical: Health Care
Hello!
I'm working on a Healthcare translation and this term came to me.
I have a doubt whether HOME MEDICATIONS here refers to medication taken at home, as I've read in other threads, or if it can mean something else, such as the medication you can take in-house, meaning inside the clinic and as oppose to discharge medications, which are the ones they send you home with.
Also later on it says: HOME MEDICATIONS WERE RETURNED TO THE FOLLOWING PERSON AT DISCHARGE. So, would my idea sound too illogical?
Thanks for your answers.

medicación domiciliaria y medicación al alta
Habitualmente, medicación domiciliaria y medicación al alta son equivalentes, pero no necesariamente. En este caso, medicación domiciliaria parece hacer referencia a la medicación habitual que toma el paciente y que habría llevado consigo y entregado al hospital a su ingreso (en ocasiones los pacientes portan su propia medicación diaria para continuar tomándola durante un ingreso hospitalario), y que le habría sido devuelta en el momento del alta.

This site explains a little more about DISCHARGE MEDICATIONS. Sometimes there could be some home medicine changes but still are considered discharge medications so what Chema proposed are good options. All the best!!
