Drug - Herb Interactions, Luvox, Hypnotics and Liver Damage

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

Here are some sites with some great information regarding drug - herb

interactions. The first one provides a simple to use/read table. the

next twoe are specific drug herb interactions, and then some helpful

sites on FDA and liver damage in general.

It is my suspicion or hunch that as PTCB gets more item writers this

year there may be more herb-drug interaction quesions. At least I

think it is time for this to occur. So if I was writing the questions

I would have a few on the exam.

1. When drugs and herbs don't mix

2. Q & A: Herbs and drugs to avoid while taking Luvox

3. Sleep-inducing drugs, herbs just don't mix

4. Drugs and Herbs Online

5. Drugs, Herbs, Diet, and the Liver

I hope the above helps you all to study some simple drug-herb

interactions which could be on the exam. In my opinion it is about

time!

I put the link into a " Make a Shorter Link " internet webpage, and so this

link will then redirect you to the ACTUAL long link:

Hey, I'm a computer junkie. I can't help it! Of course, I ALSO DID go to

bed 3 hours ago and now I'm up again! I was WIDE awake in bed, now I'm up

and yawning. Guess I get to finish the night on the couch so I can actually

GET some sleep! (This on/off insomnia thing is NOT fun sometimes. I should

probably REALLY go in for a sleep study!)
