Drug-Nutrient Interactions Disclaimer
Drug-Nutrient Interactions Disclaimer
Drug interaction information in Healthnotes is not intended to replace information
supplied by a doctor or pharmacist; neither is it intended to replace package inserts or other
printed material that may be available or accompany a particular drug.
Instead, Healthnotes reviews known major interactions between pharmaceutical drugs and
food, specific nutrients, and herbs—for example, inhibition of vitamin K caused by
antibiotics or iron deficiency triggered by long-term use of aspirin.
What is not covered in this section?
Side effects that may be caused by a drug
Interactions between two or more drugs
Interactions between alcohol and specific nutrients
Interactions between drugs and water (for example, drugs inducing dehydration)
Although drug information in Healthnotes is extensive, it does not include every
drug-nutrient or drug-herb interaction. Therefore, if a drug is not mentioned, there still may
be drug-food, drug-nutrient, or drug-herb interactions. Finally, new interactions discovered
between published updates of Healthnotes obviously cannot appear here.
For these reasons, it is not sufficient to rely solely on the information presented
here. It is always wise for people seeking information about interactions between a
prescription drug and food, specific nutrients, or herbs to talk with their pharmacist,
prescribing physician, or both.
Any trademarks are the property of their respective companies.
The information presented in Aisle7 is for informational purposes only.
It is based on scientific studies (human, animal, or in vitro), clinical experience,
or traditional usage as cited in each article. The results reported may not necessarily occur
in all individuals. For many of the conditions discussed, treatment with prescription or over
the counter medication is also available. Consult your doctor, practitioner, and/or pharmacist
for any health problem and before using any supplements or before making any changes in
prescribed medications.
