Oops 😬 so what do people like is who don’t have any medical knowledge. The medical sector here is really done as you barely get attended to if you’re not among the first 100 daily. I had to stop a medication completely when they keep changing doctor each time I get to the hospital and each time it’s always another prescription. Good you were able to understand these things to be able to know what’s the best option imagine how many people would still keep on using both drugs without knowing the aftermath.

Exactly, that's a big problem! I'm certain I've made these types of errors at some point as well without realizing it. The consequences truly do add up and result in an overall sicker population.
A primary care physician, ideally, should try to reduce the number of medications and medication interactions that a patient has. Polypharmacy (taking too many medications simultaneously) is a well-known issue, particularly among the elderly. It can cause multiorgan damage over time, as well as have bad effects on the mind.
