Q: How can a patient be sure that all the medications they are on they don't interact badly with other treatments?

A: The best thing is to make a list and bring it to the hospital or their doctor. Or bring a bag of medications so the doctor, nurses, or pharmacist can review them and figure out if the list is OK or if there are any interactions. Another source of error is when people go to the medication cabinet and take the wrong bottle. Discard the medicines you are not taking anymore, so that you and your family are not confused. If you are not feeling well and a relative is helping you take medication, this will make sure they only give you the ones you are currently taking.
