With many pharmacies, especially large retail chains, closing, it's more important than ever to be vigilant about taking your medications. For those who take multiple medications, drug interactions are a serious concern and a leading cause of medical complications in the United States.

We've seen patients prescribed 8, 12, 14, or even 20 different medications by different doctors. While these medications are designed to help, they can sometimes interfere with each other and lead to dangerous interactions. Unfortunately, doctors don't always have the time to thoroughly review every contraindication, and electronic medical records may not capture them all.

If you are taking multiple medications, it is important to visit a pharmacy and ask the pharmacist to check your prescriptions for possible contraindications. This simple step can be critical to your health and safety.
