In-Depth Drug Interaction Screening Service
Did You Know Many Commonly Prescribed Medications Have Potentially Dangerous Side Effects from Interactions with Other Medications, Over-the-Counter Drugs, Supplements, and Even Food?
Perris Hills Pharmacy implements a standard drug-drug interaction (DDI) screening process for all prescriptions. We analyze any potential and actual adverse drug reactions that might be caused by drug-drug interactions in your treatment plan. If you have a complex condition that requires multiple medications and changing prescriptions, drug interaction screening can be a valuable resource. Remember to let your pharmacist know if you are taking any over-the-counter medications or supplements in addition to your prescribed medications; this will help us establish a clear medication history to reference.
Do Over-the-Counter Medications Need Drug Interaction Screening?
Even routinely prescribed blood thinners and common over-the-counter drugs, like warfarin, can cause complications. Antidepressants, alcohol, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen and aspirin, and even herbal products like ginkgo biloba and garlic can potentiate the effects of warfarin and increase the risk of internal bleeding.
Our job is to ensure that you know everything you need to know about the medications you are taking.
