In fact, I personally use observation notebooks. For a number of years, I noted down the medications women were taking, their dosages and the effects. That's how I came to draw up a list of medications and interactions, as well as effects on effectiveness and dosage. I'm someone who will measure things.
When it comes to teaching doctors, nurse practitioners, clinical nurses or pharmacists, they're taught how to prescribe hormone therapy using art and science. It's obviously important to take into account what medications patients are taking.
My obsession, if I can put it that way, is to provide women with the safest and most effective hormone therapy possible. Everything interacts with medication, whether it's our lifestyle habits or the way we take hormones, among other things.
It's complex, but that has to remain the doctor's objective. Doctors have to be trained. It isn't that complicated, but there are still precautions to take. For example, for someone who has been prescribed thyroid hormones or someone with type 1 diabetes, it's important to take everything into account. It's the role of family doctors and nurse practitioners to have a holistic view and incorporate knowledge. The human body is complex.
