Look Up Dangerous Interactions
and Potential Drug Side-Effects

Whatever you are considering, whether it's prescription medication, 'over-the-counter' products, antacids, painkillers or herbal products, the Drug Digest can assist you with making an informed decision as to what may be best for you. It offers reviews of drugs, vitamins, and herbs and has 'how to' information on taking medicine appropriately. Drug Digest also supplies information on what a product should or shouldn't do for you, as well as offering physicians and pharmacists scientific evidence that advises on when to recommend these products for the benefit of patients.

The Importance of Safely Managing Medication

Did you know that, according to a study by the Harvard Medical School, the third cause of death in the United States is drug interactions and prescription errors? Scary when you think about it, isn't it? The pharmaceutical industry quite frequently appears to neglect to mention and/or deliberately conceals possible dangerous side effects or interactions about their products when 'pitching' them to physicians and pharmacists - with incomplete information, how can a doctor safely weigh the pros and cons of a medication prior to prescribing it? For instance, there are approximately nineteen million people taking "statin" drugs (supposedly to lower cholesterol). Did you know that statin drugs shut down the body's ability to produce coenzyme Q10, an enzyme vital to heart health? Less than one half of one percent of patients taking statins have been advised that they need to take coenzyme Q10 supplements! The end result of this lack of information may very well be often-fatal congestive heart failure for the patient.
