The German Pharmacists Associations Association said the risk of drug interactions rises when a patient takes at least three or five medications on a permanent basis.
To avoid this, anyone who needs to take multiple medications should make a daily plan that includes what medications to take, when to take them, for what they should be taken and the exact dosage.
It is best to keep the plan, which contains all information about the drug, in a place where it can be found easily in an emergency such as in the refrigerator.
Digital solutions can also be used in this field, such as drug abuse applications such as Mediteo.
If you suspect or develop unusual symptoms after taking the medicine, seek medical advice. The occurrence of drug interactions can be inferred by noticing some symptoms such as digestive troubles, headache, dizziness, and muscle pain.
