We are talking about a very important topic in this, our third episode, of Dr. Linda TV - Best of Health!

Adverse drug interactions can occur when a medicine you take, whether a prescription medication, over-the-counter remedy, vitamin, or herbal product interacts with another medicine, food, beverage or other conditions you have to cause a negative result.

In this episode, you will learn the four main types of drug interactions to be aware of and the best ways to prevent them. We will show some examples of drug interactions that should be avoided. You will also learn how to best manage your medications to avoid adverse drug interactions. One of the best ways to reduce your risk of an adverse drug interaction is to show an updated list of all the medicines and products you take to your healthcare provider or the pharmacist at every visit. When you're done watching download the handy “My Medication List” form that you can use for this purpose.
