If you take dietary supplements or use other complementary health approaches, itâs important to share this information with your health care provider. Talking with your provider can help you make well-informed decisions about your health. When you fill out a patient history form, include everything you use so the provider will have a full picture of what you do to manage your health. Bring a list of all the health products you takeâover-the-counter medicines, prescription medicines, and dietary supplementsâto every office visit. This information can help your provider advise you about possible interactions between supplements and medicines. Donât wait for your provider to ask about complementary health approaches. Be proactive. Start the conversation. |
