Whom Can One Consult About Vitamins And Drug Interactions?
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have a list of about 15 supplements I take along with prescriptions Eliquis, flecainide, diltiazem. My neurologist prescribed Cymbalta for my neuropathy without even looking at my supplements. I found interactions on my on and am not taking. I want to have a sit down consultation with someone but with whom would I consult?

I have to consult my oncologist before on any med or supplement because our
Cancer meds are effected by chemicals and additives in them.

I have had good luck consulting with a pharmacist. I believe you can talk with a pharmacist at any pharmacy. They have special computer programs that help them find the needed information.

Going and asking a pharmacist is your best option because they know the drugs better than your doctor does.

Linda,
Patient Power just had an article about Vitamin D and Neuropathy. Have you had you levels checked lately? Also, my Mom took Nutritional Yeast (Bob’s RedMill) 3-5 times a day and never had neuropathy even after 30 strong chemo’s. There is no money in doing a trial for it, so they don’t share it.
