Ever wonder why your doctor asks so many questions about the meds you're taking? It's not just about making small talk. Meds can interact in unexpected ways, changing how they work or causing side effects. Mixing meds without knowing how they play together can be risky. Even over-the-counter stuff isn't always as harmless as it seems. So, before you pop that pill, have a chat with your healthcare provider. It's all about keeping you safe and making sure your treatment is on point. Stay informed, stay healthy.
