Medications can interact with food, supplements and each other. They may change the effect of a medication, cause drug toxicity or affect nutritional status. Along with the widespread use of medications among people with HIV is concern about interactions caused by a number of factors. This issue offers valuable information to help clinicians and clients get the most effective use of prescribed medications. In this issue we also add to previously published information on the subject of medical marijuana and highlight a nutrition program in Seattle, Washington.
