Safety with Over-the-Counter (OTC), Herbal and Nutrition Supplemental Medications
Not all non-prescription medications are safe for everyone.
Many of these medications interact with other medications and can cause serious side effects especially in older adults.
Many have activity that overlaps with prescription medications increasing the risk of unwanted, annoying, even serious side effects.
Just because it is herbal does not mean it is without possible serious side effects.
ASK FIRST! It is best to ask your healthcare providers before taking any OTC, herbal or nutrition supplement medication. This includes single-vitamin or mineral tablets.
