| 2009-11-15 | Ronda | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Wow, I am excited to have found this site and appreciate Sudesh Samuel's help! My life depends on me being correctly educated and informed of the medications I take. Some times I feel a little lost or alone in my efforts to manage my medications and health. I am happy to say I feel I've discovered a new source that I can help and support my efforts. Sudesh Samuel's answer was thorough, helpful, and easy to understand, so much so, it is affecting my decisions I originally questioned. Thanks so much Sudesh! |
| 2009-11-15 | Doreen | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | With regard to your ending comment:Visit the Institute for Medication Management website where pharmacists will analyze your medication profile online and help you manage your medicines for safer, more effective and lower cost treatment - http://www.medicationreview.net I am sure this is a blanket statement hoiwever, I do not take any medications whatsoever and rely on natural supplements to keep my cholersterol down. |

| 2009-06-16 | Sue | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Good info to know. I did talk to the pharmacist from her nursing home who was able to answer my questions in detail. He was concerned about the seraquil dosage and the roxanol. You did point out about the roxanol accumulating in the body which the other pharmacist did not. We will be having her med management assessed by the pharmacist to see if this is why she has been unresponsive and lethargic. You both seem to be saying this is an avenue we should check out. Thanks so much for the quick response. |

| 2009-05-16 | Margaret | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks. I have talked to my gynaecoloist and he agrees with you so I shall continue to take it. |
| 2009-05-16 | Gayle | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you. Okay, I won't take more than prescribed, but it sure doesn't seem to be doing much good. |
| 2009-05-15 | Mary Ellen | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you Dr. Samuel, you were very quick to answer me. Whew, you saved me a lot of worry, although I will still follow up with my doc. You guys are so smart and wonderful to help those of us who are concerned but dont want to keep running to the doctor out of fears and worries. Thankyou, Mary Ellen |

Answers by Expert:
Sudesh Samuel
Expertise
I take questions on medication, pharmaceuticals and supplements. This includes areas of medication safety, queries related to drug profiles like pharmacology, side effects, interactions, precautions and contraindications, storage conditions, administration, supplement uses along with their interactions, precautions and side effects.
Experience
I am a licenced and practicing pharmacist specialising in the provision of healthcare communications material and drug information. I have run a drug information service at a national, tertiary, teaching hospital where my duties included managing several pharmacists in the development of continual education, providing drug information throughout the hospital and analyzing new and existing drugs for inclusion into the hospital formulary. I have been involved in several healthcare committees including patient safety, adverse drug reaction monitoring, antibiotic guidelines as well as a pharmacy and therapeutics committee. I was an on-call pharmacist with the national drug and poisons information centre. My research focus has been on medication review and I have presented findings on a renal medication review service and also published a review article on halting the allergic march in the World Allergy Organization Journal.
