A-Z Guide to Drug-Herb-Vitamin Interactions: Improve Your Health and Avoid Side Effects When Using Common Medications and Natural Supplements Together

I work in a pharmacy and found this book very useful in prescribing medicines, but it would bee of great use to anybody who wishes to know a bit more about the medication they or a loved one are on

I am studying naturopathic nutrition, this is one of the recommended books. It's organised really clearly and is not at all complicated to use. It has extensive information and is very useful for assignments and for practice clinics.

Very interesting and helpful information.

Very useful very informative

Very accessible with instant availability of information.

Must have for any practitioner or health conscious person! Its far too easy 'now adays' to over self medicate. This will certainly help prevent this practice.

Very interesting book, something I have been looking for , for a long time.

Excellent book and reliable seller!

I find this book really useful in my practice.

Great product, arrived very fast. This is a great reference book.

I am a "senior citizen" and subsequently am dealing with a number of age-related illnesses. I have excellent doctors but I do believe It is my responsibility to participate in my healthcare, including monitoring my many medications. Every time I get prescribed something new I question the doctor if it will conflict of any of my other meds. My pharmacist regularly runs the new script through a computer program to double check. I have been seeing a new specialist for a temporary illness; he prescribed a combination of some specific vitamins and said he was not aware of any conflict with my current meds. I checked with my pharmacist who informed me that one of the supplements did sometimes conflict with Warfarin. When shopping for the vitamins at 4 stores because no store carried all of them, the clerks all said there were no problems. No surprise, one clerk at a store that specializes in vitamins and supplements even said vitamins were "totally harmless." The last store was a health food store. After telling me that Warfarin was a statin, and arguing the point when I corrected her, I decided I was done. As I was leaving I asked her if she had any recommendations for resources I might use to find more specific information. She recommended the new revised A-Z Guide, which was out of stock at the store. Fortunately, Amazon had it and the rest is history! This long narrative is just to explain why this reference is important to have in my home and in the home of anyone who is taking a number of prescription drugs. I trust all of my doctors and they have never failed me. But I also believe it is up to me to ask questions and do the research when something doesn't seem right. The A-Z Guide explained the possible problem that the pharmacist mentioned regarding Warfarin AND provided the solution -- simply take them two hours apart. I am grateful to have found this excellent and thorough reference. The information is easy to understand and answers questions that the material provided by the drug companies does not.

Great book very informative and easy to follow.

Ik verkoop voedingssuplementen maar dit boek is enkel uit het standpunt van medicatie. Ik heb andere gevonden die ook uit het standpunt van kruiden en vitamines vertrekken wat voor mij toepasbaarder is.
