When and how to notify of new prescription

Eh sort of, still not satisfied but was going to talk to some pilot mentors. My question was for an approved medicine. When do you report? At the next medical or do you send in a letter and a drs note saying all good and no side effects ? I’m not prescribed anything but could be in the future.

Assuming it's a medication that doesn't disqualify you from safely operating an aircraft or from qualifying for a medical (for operations that require a medical) and the same is true for the diagnosis for which the medication in prescribed, you disclose it on your next medical application if you are still taking the medication at that time. In the meantime, you either don't fly until you determine there are no adverse side effects or, if the medication is on the no-fly list, until the requisite amount of time has passed after you last took a dose.

thanks! I had the twinge of a gout flare up and If it went full on I can see my pcp wanting to try to get me on allopurinol
 
I have gout; always reported it on the medical, on Allopurinol, never a problem with the AME.

I was flying along one day and the prescription on my eyeglasses ran out.
