100% Q: is there any book or reference that can tell you anything about drug interactions with herbal medication.?

Is there any book or reference that lists all drugs,and herbal medications,and any information about drug interactions.dont ask your doctor he doesnt have a clue,nor do the ones who fill your prescriptions.

A:There are some basic ones out there like "A-Z Guide to Drug-Herb-Vit Interactions".... but any book will be outdated shortly because new drugs come out fairly often. The most updated list would be a database that doctors and pharmacists have access to, so I would ask there first if you want to make sure.

100% Q: I am concerned about drug interactions?

I am taking 450mg of Lyrica a day, 60mg of Baclofen a day, 1100mg of Naproxen a day, 200mg of Provigil a day, 10 mg of Uroxatral a day, 385mg of aspirin a day and was given a prescription of 500mg Hydrocodone to take 2 as needed for pain. I haven't taken any of this because I am concerned with the interactions it may incur. I have acute Multiple Sclerosis and a pinched nerve in my lumbar. Can anyone tell me?

A:If you get all your prescriptions for the same pharmacy your Pharmacist will inform you of any interactions. If you get them at different pharmacies (not a good idea) then take all your meds to the pharmacist and he(or she) can tell you if there are any potential problems. You can call as well. Make sure to include any herbal remedies and over-the-counter things that you take.
