I take vitamins and herbal supplements as well as prescriptions; is that dangerous?

It can be. Many people believe a vitamin or supplement is “safe” because it's “natural.” But many supplements including herbal supplements can cause dangerous interactions with prescription medications, resulting in serious and sometimes life-threatening events. That's why when you come in for an appointment, it's very important to reveal anything you're taking to avoid potentially serious side effects.
