Certainly wise advice for anyone... though I still think there is value in the web site. I think the key here is to educate yourself and ask your doctor about anything you find concerning--I would imagine in most cases, interactions can be managed. In my case, it lists my BP medications as having synergistic effects--which is actually the intent of taking the medications in combination. So, it's not saying it shouldn't be done, but awareness is always better than not. And as everyone should know, no doctor or pharmacist is going to be educated on the effects every combination of medication. Just like this forum, taking control of managing your own medical issues is important--this is another tool to help with that.Hawthorne wrote:For me, I will stick with my Pharmacist's and my doctors (GP and Rheumatologist) counsel.
Thanks for sharing this link... I found it educational, and feel a little better educated about why my doctor prescribed me a combination of BP medications.
