Anyone have a suggestion for the following problem? 

Please add the medication name, or abbreviated name, to the notification that reminds me to take my meds. I take different meds on different days and I need to know which one I'm being reminded to take.

If you tap on the notification, it will bring you directly to that time's medication list, where you can check which medication is due and mark as taken. I assume you mean the  phone notification.  If you are using a watch, you would tap on the notification and then tap on "show on phone".  Again, it will open your time slot's list.

I don't know if that succeed your issue or not, but I'm having the issue where the medication name does not appear with the notification, on my watch nor on my phone. When you take multiple meds throughout the day, is much easier to see the name grab the pill instead going in the phone, then the app just to find it out.

This is an older post, but you can go into the health app, tap the medication tile, tap the dot menu and select reminder settings.  After you tap reminder settings, you will see an option to show medication name. Turning this on should show you which medications you need to take.
