Med Med interactions and Jackson's death.

A great reader and wonderful lady pointed me to a potential issue with the medications that Michael Jackson was on.

She ran them through a site we use to help us with pharmacogenomic issues......

GeneMedRX.

Take a look at the meds he was on and the warnings in the boxes. I often talk about gene-drug interactions, but what we also need to be aware of is drug-drug interactions.....

This software helps. For full disclosure, we see many patients who have had pharmacogenomic testing through Genelex and use GeneMedRX.

You can look at the software here.

I find it to be pretty useful webware to quickly go through any potential issues. And on our 32 inch touch screen computers the patient like to look at it while we work through the issues as well......

Poor Michael, like all great stars......death by drugs and doctors who can't do med-med reconciliations for potential interactions........
