I always find it surprising when people tell me that they do not read the pamphlets/instructions that they receive along with their prescription or over-the-counter drugs. All medications are chemicals that cause certain reactions in your body...it is important to know how other things you consume will impact those reactions. For example, most people know not to have grapefruit/citrus with certain cholesterol medications...but did you know that garlic can also cause problems for you when you are taking particular cholesterol meds. Check out the link pasted below to a brochure that will help you to learn more about food and drug interactions...and remember to read those pamphlets and instructions or at least ask your Dr. or pharmacist about the medications you are taking! Live Well!
