I see many different doctors and I'm looking for a specialist doctor who supervises all the drugs to see if dosages and different kinds of drugs are compatable.

    take a list of all your medications, and dosages to a pharmasist, ask for a consultation, it’s free.

    Your pharmacist should do this for you. Most of the time doctors want a full list of medications that you are taking before they treat you so that they can check for compatibility.

    Pharmacists are trained to do this. You can give a list of all your meds to your pharmacist and s/he can tell you which ones shouldn’t be mixed, and which ones to take far apart in the day.

    I think if you go to a good pharmacy they will help you just as much if not more than a Dr. Pharmacists have all the information and it’s always updated for them. That’s what they spend many years in University for. They will let you know about contra-indications My pharmacy is great and they always let me know if there will be a problem with a medication and it’s no cost to you. Good luck

    One of the doctors you already see (or all of them actually) should already be trained to do that for you if you ask them.

    A good pharmacist should do that when a new medicine is added.
