Drug Interactions & Contraindications

Drug Interactions

 

In general, we should avoid polypharmacy and never prescribe anything without being aware of the patient‘s full medical history and current medications.
It is our responsibility to look up any possible interactions with the drugs that we prescribe. Epocrates is Dr. Flynn‘s preference.
