The differences in the databases that assess potentially dangerous drug interactions were interesting. As a registered nurse who manages an HIV/AIDS program, I am careful to teach medication use and safety to my patients.

As you stated, it can be tricky for nonprofessionals to use many of these sites because they lack the pharmacological education that doctors and RNs have. So, as I and my colleagues teach, always take a list of your current medications with you any time you go to the doctor or dentist.
