National Herbal And Prescription Interaction Awareness Month: New Acronym Coined

Share this news:

Health and Wellness Company Pure Health Origins developed a new acronym to raise awareness of medication and supplement interactions and to help keep those reactions to a minimum by reminding people to always inform their doctor of all medications and supplements they are taking.

-- New York, NY, USA – July 31st, 2014 /PressCable/ — Pure Health Origins has coined a new acronym, M.Y. D.O.S.E. – Make YourDoctor Oversee Supplements Every time, to bring awareness to supplement buyers

to ensure they are exercising proper precautions when taking herbal supplements and

prescriptions drugs and to make sure their doctor is aware of everything they are

taking so that interactions can be avoided. As the calendar turns to August,

National Herbal and Prescription Awareness Month ends, but the awareness needs

to continue all year.According to the FDA, adverse reactions are the 4th leading cause of death in the United States. The National Institutes of Health advises precautions to

avoid cardiac interactions specifically. While most herbal supplements are

generally regarded as safe, when combined with prescription medications, things

can change. There are many herbal remedies that are perfectly safe to take for

the majority of people, but reactions from the combination of supplements and

medications can result in anything from an upset stomach, nausea and diarrhea,

to hospitalization and even death.It is critical to discuss everything you take with your doctor. This means

medications (even those another doctor prescribed), over-the-counter

medications and herbal supplements. In addition, since there are often very few

studies done on supplements because they are natural, it is important to start

taking any supplement in lower amounts and then gradually increase the dosage

to ensure that if a reaction occurs, it is minimized. Not all interactions are caused by another medication or supplement,

sometimes a reaction occurs simply because the person taking the supplement is

allergic to it. Allergies to supplements and medications may occur very

infrequently per specific type, but even a .005 percent reaction frequency provides

no comfort to the people who do react.Remember the acronym M.Y. D.O.S.E. – Make Your Doctor Oversee Supplements

Every time.Pure Health Origins has published an article on their website to help bring awareness of the possible interactions

that can occur even while taking something incredibly basic, such as a natural
