• Can homeopathic medicines, natural products, herbs, vitamins or minerals interact with prescription medications?
  Absolutely!  Always ask your pharmacist if it is safe to take whatever “natural” supplements you are taking with your prescription medications.  Whether “natural” or “synthetic,” you are dealing with chemicals that interact and can cause side effects, including dangerous ones- and in rare cases, lead to serious illness or even death.  In fact, “natural” products can even interact with each other.  Be sure to ask your pharmacist if you are taking safe combinations of “natural” products and supplements.
