What to know about drug interactions
From the Medical News Today website
Drug interactions can make a drug less effective. In some cases, they can make a drug more potent, which can be dangerous.
The symptoms of drug interactions vary greatly and range from mild to life threatening. Some common warning signs include feeling sick after taking a medication, not getting the usual results from a medication, or feeling either very tired or very energetic after taking a medication.
Drug interactions do not only occur between prescription drugs. Over-the-counter drugs, food, supplements, and alcohol can all change the way the body metabolizes (breaks down) medication.
