The most information about drug use and possible interactions is obtained when the patient brings all prescribed medications,OTC medications,and supplements to every health care appointment.The patient should discuss the use of any OTC medications with the health care provider and obtain all prescribed medications from the same pharmacy,but use of supplements and herbal medications also need to be considered in order to prevent drug-drug interactions.Use of a medication schedule will help the patient take medications as scheduled but will not prevent drug-drug interactions.
