If you take a prescription or an over-the-counter drug, and you
can answer yes to any of these other questions, then you may be
experiencing a drug interaction or conflict that is having an
negative affect on your health: - Do you take more than one drug
- prescription or over-the-counter? - Do you take vitamins or
other supplements? - Do you ever drink grapefruit juice, eat
licorice or chocolate? - Do you enjoy a glass of wine, a bottle
of beer or another alcoholic beverage? Drug-to-drug, drug-to-
supplement, drug-to-food and drug-to-alcohol conflicts and
interactions may simply give you a bit of intestinal discomfort
- or they may kill you. We hear too frequently in the news about
a celebrity who has died because of conflicts from drugs, in
particular. Sometimes we hear them labeled as overdoses. But
overdoses can result from a drug that was taken in its
prescribed quantity, then its effect was altered by the presence
of another substance like another drug or alcohol. Michael
