I’ve been through a few different medications of the past few years. Some for a few months, some a few days and even others that I have been on for over a year.
Switching medicines and starting new ones can be scary. Sometimes you do not have all the info you need to know what can happen. At least in this modern day we have access to the internet to look up unsafe products/device lists. We can research things for ourselves instead of counting on others to inform us.
I’ve had some scary reactions to medications before. When I am just starting on a new medicine I research it online, I ask questions to my doctors and pharmacists. Better safe than sorry!. Have you ever had a reaction from medicine?
There are medicines on the lists that I have taken in the past. I am sure there will be more in the future. It’s not only prescription medication that you have to be careful with! Over the counter medicines can cause damage to your body and reactions that may not be typical in others. Then combining over the counter medications or even natural remedies with prescription medicines can be dangerous as well!
Make sure to do your research…then do it again and again while taking your medications. Things change. Be careful!

That’s good advice Brandy! I don’t normally think about how my OTC drugs or herbal remedies will interact, but I definitely should. I will check out the site you linked above. Thanks!
