在美国，膳食补充剂作为缓解更年期妇女症状的疗法越来越受欢迎。然而，在处方药和膳食补充剂的伴随使用的研究与指导患者决策的提供者准备之间存在很大的差距。许多更年期妇女服用处方药、非处方药、草药和膳食补充剂来治疗更年期症状或其他健康状况。任何药物都有可能发生相互作用。服用抗凝血剂、抗惊厥剂和治疗慢性病药物等治疗指数较窄的药物的妇女面临的风险特别大。当开始或停止处方药时，或发生意外反应时，应询问患者是否使用膳食补充剂。在咨询患者时，必须仔细考虑每个人服用的每种补充剂和药物的风险和益处。
Dietary supplements are becoming increasingly popular as therapies for symptom relief among menopause-age women in the United States. However, a large gap exists between research in the concomitant use of prescription medications and dietary supplements and provider preparedness to guide patient decision making. Many menopausal women take prescription medications, over the counter medications, and herbs and dietary supplements for climactic symptoms or other health conditions. With any drug, there is the potential for interactions. Women taking medications with a narrow therapeutic index, such as anticoagulants, anticonvulsants, and drugs for the treatment of chronic diseases, are at particular risk. Patients should be queried regarding their use of dietary supplements when starting or stopping a prescription drug, or if unexpected reactions occur. When counseling patients, one must carefully consider the risks and benefits of each supplement and medication being taken by each individual.
