Dietary Supplement Practicum (12 of 21): Interactions between Supplements & Drugs

(Bethesda, MD) Bill J. Gurley, Ph.D., professor of pharmaceutical sciences at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) College of Pharmacy and director of the UAMS Clinical Pharmacokinetics Research Laboratory, describes some of the major means and mechanisms by which ingredients in supplements and medicines may interact and the potential clinical implications of these interactions. Dr. Gurley illustrates these concepts with examples including St. John’s wort, ephedra, and licorice root. He discusses the extent to which interactions between supplements and drugs are studied; are reported by health professionals; pose clinically relevant risks to consumers; and are catalogued in places accessible to health professionals and consumers. This presentation is part of the 2017 Mary Frances Picciano Dietary Supplement Research Practicum sponsored by the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS). This 2.5-day annual event for faculty, students, and health practitioners provides a thorough overview of issues, concepts, unknowns, and controversies about dietary supplements and supplement ingredients. It also emphasizes the importance of scientific investigations to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and value of these products for health promotion and disease prevention as well as how to carry out this type of research.
