Can someone please clarify for me when it is appropriate to call a Dr. about Drug interactions and allergies. I know the most important DUR checks to look for are contraindications and possibly QT prolongation and drug allergies.
I also know there are exceptions such as maybe not calling on QT prolongation if they are both prescribed by the same Dr. and also not calling for drug allergies if they have already been on the drug with no problems.
I know to look for things like Viagra/Cialis/revatio with nitrates and alpha blockers.
Can some please clarify for me because it is hard to get ahold of the doctor to explain these things and most DUR checks are worthless.
