I am begging people to talk to their pharmacists if they really won't read the leaflet, they're the ones who have the entire degree and continuing education in what your meds do and what they will do with other meds and non-med things, you can talk to them for free when you get your meds, docs have wildly inconsistent levels of knowledge about medication interactions and no time to go through them properly please god
pharmacists are my favourite medical professionals they are so sexy for this
and most of them (you get the occasional shit one who’s just phoning it in until they go home shoutout to my old pharmacy) are MORE than happy to go through this stuff with you. asking a pharmacist about drug interactions is like activating their trap card
when i first got my dexamfetamine and bupropion prescribed simultaneously the pharmacist flagged the potentially dangerous interaction.
when i explained to him i was doing that *on purpose* because i worked out i’m an ultrarapid CYP2D6 metaboliser and needed to hack my liver into talking to amphetamines properly i think he started physically vibrating
