What doctor do you notify when a drug interferes with another? Do you notify your primary or the doctor whose medication is involved? Say a neurologist prescribes a drug and that drug reacts to a drug a cardiologist prescribed. Who do you tell???
Drug interactions with other drugs?

I've been advised (even by an ER dr.) to consult a pharmacist. Personally, I consult medical books and the net and rely on my own experience. I think it is a weak spot in current medical practice, and hope that soon the IT giants can build hardier interaction engines as drug interactions are a large and serious medical problem, esp. when many drugs are used simultaneously.
