A. Evaluate medications (develop a short list of most commonly used medications, review their basic pharmacology, construct small pivot table). For the purposes of this lecture we’ll consider 12 medications.

B. Famous interactions (the 12 medications considered were chosen because they have some rather archetypal interactions!)

C. Group medications (branching out from the 12 closely studied medications inferences can be drawn regarding similar medications)

D. Hear your patient (because of the vast number of potential drug interactions new ones are being discovered every day…..but only if one listens carefully to patients’ descriptions of adverse reactions that they have experienced after adding a new drug to their regimen.)
