Drug Interaction

Drug interaction occurs when two or more medications affect each other’s effectiveness or safety when taken together. This can lead to increased side effects, reduced effectiveness, or even harmful reactions. Interactions can happen between prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, and even certain foods or supplements. It’s important to inform your healthcare provider about all the substances you take, as they can help manage any potential interactions and ensure your treatment is safe and effective. Always follow guidance on medication use to minimize risks associated with drug interactions.
