Dr. Goldina Erowele answered:Pharmacists are truly the drug experts due to their training and experience. As part of the medication utilization review that a pharmacist performs, drug interaction review is one of the elements of that review. Partnering with your pharmacist is highly encouraged as they are one of the most trusted healthcare professionals and one of the most accessible. They address drug related problems and help promote patient safety by what they are trained to do.
