Although I don't personally prescribe pharmaceutical drugs (nor would I want to) I still have to closely monitor what people are on and any interactions they may have. Hopefully the audience I am talking to is not on any or very few... however we all know people who are on a whole host of them. Medications are something not to take lightly and should be researched for their side effects and interactions.
This is such a great tool and website that anyone can use to check any interactions pharmaceutical medications have with each other. Not only do pharmaceutical drugs have side effects, they can also have interactions with each other which cause another set of issues. The website ranks the interactions as major, moderate, and minor. It is very imperative that a person check this if they are on two or more pharmaceutical drugs.
Go to http://www.drugs.com/drug_interactions.html and click agree. From there you can enter in different medications and click check for interactions. It will create a list of interactions between the different meds. Even if you are not my patient please be educated about what you are taking. It is your health and life. Be informed.
