hope it won't affect viagra or cialis

Is this news? I read about this 15 years ago. Hidden agenda, Most reputable pharmacies will put the appropriate warning labels on the pill bottles.

Well, duh, folks. If you’re taking any of these drugs (and I do and have for decades) you need to actually READ all the paperwork that comes with them. It includes what the drug is for; contraindications (who should not take it); things that react with it; possible side effects; and a host of other information on that medication. People need to have just a little bit of sense, and take a little responsibility of themselves. This is NOT news, nor even news-worthy. It’s just filler. But I’ll bet you all knew that already. (P.S. I sure do miss a good "Salty Dog!")

so in other words prescription drugs are bad for you..

For all the women that take birth control pills. Grapefruit and Grapefruit juice make the pill ineffective. Meaning, yes, you can get pregnant. It's a know drug interaction that they have only recently started to include on RX Labels. I agree, list all 85 known drug interactions that might cause issues, not just a handful of them or tell us where we can get the entire list.

the other ones are made by the company that made the list!

good to know.. they should put that on a prescription pill bottle label. next to the one that says "Dont operate heavy machinery" or "don't go in direct sunlight" or next to the one that says "dont take with alcohol"

I was thinking the same thing. Would be nice to have a link to a list of the drugs.

85 different drugs and the story lists only 4????
