How to use this category (safely and smartly)

Start with symptoms, not self-prescriptions. If you read about a supplement or medicine that sounds helpful, check three things: does it fit your symptoms, could it interact with meds you already take, and is there a clear dose or timing recommendation? If the answer is unclear, ask your pharmacist or doctor.

Practical safety tips: keep a simple meds list with doses and times, store supplements and medicines away from heat and moisture, and label opened herbal products with the date you started them. If you notice new symptoms after starting a supplement or drug — like rash, dizziness, or unusual digestion — stop it and seek advice.

Use these posts to prepare for conversations with your care team. Print or screenshot the short summaries and questions you want to ask: “Can this help my symptoms?” “Are there interactions with my prescriptions?” “What dose should I try first?” That makes appointments faster and safer.
