Supplement sales are skyrocketing, and we need to ensure our patients are safe. This lecture will provide information about the history of U.S. governmental supplement safety acts, how to report side effects and where to check for third party certification of ingredients. Attendees will learn what resources they can use to cross check for medication interactions to help ensure safety. The lecture will include case discussions about patients choosing a supplement over a prescription, as well as patient side effects from supplements.
Learning Objectives:
Define what vitamins, herbals, nutraceuticals, glandulars and homeopathics are and where to check for drug interactions
Know the legal processes in place to protect consumers from unsafe supplements, how to report side effects to the FDA and how to check for third party testing certification
Categorize a spectrum of supplements from relatively safe to unsafe
