Nutritional Supplement-Drug Benefit Database

An estimated 50% of Americans are currently taking prescription drugs, and we all know that medications have negative side effects. Wouldn't you love to help your patients reduce these side effects and improve their overall wellness?

eMedFx connects its subscribers to scientific research on supplements or herbs known to decrease drug side effects or improve the intended action of a drug. Access to this research will allow the subscriber to make specific supplement recommendations to help with medication side effects. The references for this literature will be printed on each eMedFx report.

Example:
Lipitor which is a Statin medication, is known to interfere with ATP synthesis by reducing the production of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), which is a key enzyme in ATP synthesis (1). Supplementation with CoQ10 may therefore be recommended for patients taking Lipitor* to help restore the enzyme depletion by this drug.

*If not otherwise contraindicated.

Simply enter your patient's medications and nutritional supplements into the database and eMedFx completes these tasks for you. All you have to do is read the patient specific report. It is that simple!
