Other Prescription Medication
Many types of medication potentially interact with supplements of essential nutrients in a way that might interfere with their effectiveness or safety.
Anyone who is taking prescription medication and nutritional supplements should do the following;
- Check on this site for common major and minor contraindications to the use of
supplements - Check the in-pack information for your prescribed drugs for any potential
interaction with nutritional supplements. You can also look up safety information
for your drugs at www.medicines.org.uk. - Ask your pharmacist and doctor about possible interactions especially if you
appear to not be responding as expected to medication or are experiencing side-
effects.
