Effects of Drug interactions
Monday, January 21st, 2008When two or more medicines are prescribed by a doctor or over-the-counter drugs, drug reactions can happen since the ingredients of the drugs clash may have an opposite interaction. The patient may suffer a serious potential result. To reduce the risk try to follow these guidelines: Carefully read the labels, and try to understand ingredients in each drug along with any possible side-effects they can cause. If you do not understand the label, ask some questions to your doctor or pharmacist. Be sure that you let them know if you are taking other drugs, herbal products or vitamins or mineral supplement. Unless you are told to do so, do not mix pills or break capsules into food or drink. Never take any medication with alcohol.
