You're not alone. I've always had a very good memory for long-ago things. I'm familiar with a lot of different aspects of history myself. I think that may be because I think about those things all the time. On the other hand I often can't remember what I came into this room for, or what I was doing five minutes ago. This isn't just about aging, as I've had it happening for most of my life.
I too have to be very careful with medications. Since my recent eye surgery I'm taking three different eyedrops four times per day. They have to be taken five minutes apart so the current one won't wash the last one out. I take them at set times, and if I forget I end up not taking any for several hours. More likely I'll take the first one, sit down at the computer and two hours later will suddenly remember the next one.
It drives you crazy sometimes.
