Drug Interactions

Medications used to treat bipolar disorder frequently interact with other prescription medications, over the counter medications, and herbal medications. Some of these drug interactions can cause serious harm to your health. It is important to tell your prescribing doctor and pharmacist all the medications you are taking before starting another medication. Some medications interact with certain food. Follow the advice of your healthcare providers regarding which foods to avoid and when to maintain a specific period of time between eating and taking your medication.
