The IBIS Guide to Drug-Herb and Drug-Nutrient Interactions

from the developers of IBIS,

the Integrative BodyMind Information System

* Can St. 's Wort and Prozac be taken at the same time?

Separate the facts from the fiction.

When selecting medications, you do your best to avoid harmful side effects

and drug interactions.

But, what happens when your patients are self-treating with one or more of

the hundreds of herbal remedies and nutritional supplements now available?

Products labeled " natural " are not necessarily safe. On the contrary, these

products can have significant negative effects if used incorrectly.

Combining pharmaceuticals with herbs or supplements may weaken or

strengthen a drug's action or create toxic side effects.

It is critical that you know how herbal remedies and nutritional supplements

might affect your treatment plan and your patient's health.

IBIS Interactions features:

* Up-to-date information based on scientific literature of medicine,

pharmacology, clinical nutrition, and herbal therapeutics.

* Designed for physicians, pharmacists, and other healthcare

professionals but easily understood by patients and consumers.

* Drug-herb and drug-nutrient interactions for hundreds of medications.

* Effects of herbs and supplements on drug metabolism and dosages,

including positive synergistic effects and adverse side effects.

* Essential clinical data on drug-induced nutritional depletion patterns

with safe and effective supportive strategies.

* Quickly identify drugs by generic name, trade name or drug class and

herbs by their common or botanical name, all with easily accessible

reference tables.

* Record and report interactions and adverse reactions involving herbs

and supplements.

* Printable educational handouts written in concise and practical terms.

* Build partnerships with your patients in their health-oriented initiatives.
