Arrow Welcome to the Medications Forum & Useful Sites!

I didn't notice this was here until today.

Many medication questions should be directed to your doctor and pharmacist.
Pharmacies today provide extensive handouts to help you understand your
medications.

But given the way drugs are marketed today, some effects from newer
medications are not completely understood. So a forum of this type is a
good meeting place for people to exchange experiences about medications, when they are worried about them, or interactions.

A very good reference for drug information is:
www.rxlist.com

This site gives side effects reported to FDA in table form and is useful to see clustering reports etc:
http://www.drugcite.com/

And this is a good reference for drug interactions:
http://www.drugs.com/drug_interactions.html


This one is very also:
http://www.pdrhealth.com/

If you have a problem with a medication toxicity or adverse reaction you can report it here:
http://www.fda.gov/
the medwatch program:
http://www.fda.gov/medwatch/index.html

If you have problems with understanding the medical terminology that you
find on the net, I can help members with that issue.

I also have experience about what really is going on compared to the dry,
medical stuff you can find on websites that give drug info. Some alarming things that you read about, don't commonly happen. And the vice versa,
some things you or your doctor don't expect, may happen to you.

I hope others come along here and offer web locations that they have found useful as well.
