OK my list is so far....
Any anti-seizure meds w/in 1-2 hours of other things. Calciums, Fish oils...I was on the whole menu until recently and am down to two daily [a vacation] and 3 optionals....IF you read the fine prints of any prescription med, you will find this in the 'interactions' at times, often not. YOu will have to call and ask. WHY? because most 'trials' are not done with folks on multiple meds! They only get feedback from us when we call and ask. I also do a back-up call to the FDA about any given med as well, as the FDA DOES track the calls they get w/the call the drug co's 'report'. [Then the FDA KNOWS the drug co is 'discounting' possible issues-and they DO act, I've seen it on some of my meds!] Then suss out the discrepancies. It is tedious, at best?
Since I'd been on five presciption meds prior to my 'vacation', and was trying to track down variables of the med interactions in blood tests, I found out that any supplements you take have to be an hour to three before or after any meds you take. This can get very complicated? As if it wasn't already? It just means you don't chug down all the AM pills all at once...just set your timer and take A, at X; B at Y; and so on. It is tedious.
It is nowhere clearly put. Only obscurely in the 'prescribing information' IF KNOWN of any prescribed medications. I do know I'd tried ALA and well, just didn't feel comforatable with it...Don't know why. gut feeling? Bad pun maybe...but opinon only in that respect. Wish I'd more at my fingertips, maybe someone else has... - j
