Ya, but truthfully, how many doctors READ that list???

Then, how many know what the TRUE interactions of them are????

My mom is oh hydroclorothiazide and there is a specific interaction between that and vit D3 so I told my mom to mention to her dr that she is taking both.

Stupid dr didnt even know there is an interaction between the two. The reason I told mom to tell her is because SHE, the dr, told my mom to stop taking calcium at one of her visits, she said it was too much calcium can cause her to have a heart attack and her levels were too high.

Well, um, yesterday she said go ahead and take the D3 but there is a clear warning that those two together can cause high calcium serum. But my mom forgot that part and just asked if it was ok to take them together.

I simply do not trust dr's to know all the facts about supplements, and I have never had a dr read my list and ask a question or make a comment.
