Any doc need to do a complete history including all the drugs, including over the counter drugs, and any and all supplements including vitamins and minerals.

There are enough adverse reactions from drug and food interactions, e.g. various drugs and grapefruit/grapefruit juice, coumadin, a blood thinner, and foods high in vitamin K, etc.

There’s a saying in medicine to the effect that having a good history is ninety percent of making the diagnosis.
