  • If you take two different medications for two different reasons, here's a sobering thought: your doctor may not fully understand what happens when they're combined, because drug interactions are incredibly hard to study. In this fascinating and accessible talk, Russ Altman shows how doctors are studying unexpected drug interactions using a surprising resource: search engine queries.

    Pharmacy student here! Loved this talk! My mini research topics have been around this.

    As a Public Services Librarian and Institutional Data Oracle, I found this FASCINATING.
    As someone who lost a friend due to drug interactions (from a MD who prescribed the drugs together, and my friend had an adverse reaction), I think this kind of research is long overdue.

    This is exactly how Big Data should be used. Great talk. Very appreciated.

      +Talon3000 Its a difficult problem, on one hand the potential gains from exploiting big data for good simply cant be understated. On the other hand big datas potential for abuse is absolutely terrifying. Figuring out how to safely get as much positive out of big data with as little potential for abuse as possible isnt easy

      +StrykerTen Simple enough, any use of the data to generate profit is inherently not to be trusted. The reason this use of the data seems relatively inoffensive is that the study being done was done for medical research, and medical research is almost always a public good.

    • @finfan7
      @finfan7 8 лет назад +1

      Government inherently shouldn't be trusted with the data either. They should have to prove necessity before violating privacy. An actual resisting court should grant warrants and it should be on a case by case request basis. Mass surveillance, by anyone, and especially without express informed consent, is a violation and the purpose of government is never to violate its citizens. You don't need to tell me how bad of an idea mass government surveillance is, history has already made that point.
      But I maintain companies shouldn't be trusted with data. Who cares if you get ads that aren't targeted at you? All ads are a violation because all ads are lies and because advertisement is not solicited. If you want to know what game to buy, you look at what games are available and make a decision. The ad should never enter into it. It doesn't tell you which game is better to see an ad for it, it only tells you which company makes a better ad. The solution to a man (company) who comes into your home, pauses whatever you are watching/playing, and shouts at you to buy his product (ads) is to lock the door, not ask him to please shout at you about a product you might like. You might say the companies need to do it to make money but that just isn't true. Good products, in a world without advertisement but with ubiquitous communication, will naturally gain market share. And as the cigarette companies' experience shows, when neither you nor your competitor can advertise you make more money because you still sell your product but you don't have to spend the profits on advertising.

    Ah, loved this talk! I have always wondered about this topic for many different reasons, and from a personal story! Medications in general can have many different and potential risks to them. One medication alone can have anywhere from 1-20+ different types of side effects with it. The more medications you add into the mix, the more complicated things can get.
    Altman made a comment that if a patient is on a type of medication, then becomes depressed, a doctor may put that patient on an anti-depressant drug. Sounds great, and could get the job done. Right? Not necessarily. Do those two drugs clash? How will they react with one another? Which makes me think of my mother.
    Depression runs in my family. My mom has had depression for as long as I can remember, and a couple of my aunts and uncles have also suffered from depression as well. There was one point in my life where I can remember that my mother was taking 6 different pills a day. All prescribed to her by the same doctor. She didn't think anything of it, rather than that is what her doctor prescribed, so that is what she was taking. However, one pill alone was 875 mg, which is a lot. My mother is a small woman. Just above 5 feet tall, and around 105 pounds, nothing big by any means. Until she was always tired, taking multiple naps throught the day (which was unlike her), and occasionally getting sick a couple times a week. I noticed, but didn't say anything. Until my dad had enough of it, and took her to the doctors. After 7 months of taking 6 pills a day, the doctor cut it back to just two. I had my mother back. She was fine, full of energy and life. So, here is my question, why 6? Six took my mother away, two I gained my mother back. Why do doctors always think more is better? Clearly, they did not know what mixing all of these would do to her tiny body, yet, I thought it was excessive to begin with.
    More research and funding needs to go into this topic because it is something almost everyone goes through. I alone take two different pills each day. My brother takes two, and so does my mom. However, there are more people out in society that probably take a handful more than just two a day, that could be potentionaly putting harm to their body by doing so.
    Overall, I agree with what Altman is saying when it comes to this topic on mixing medications. More studying needs to go into it, and more eyes need to be focused on this topic.

      People have not understood for thousands of years that Gods do not care about people's prayers, offerings, requests, promises, etc. It is really more about the illusion of relevancy. Commenting is more about the momentary need of expressing your thoughts, than any expectation of future consequences of it. Just like doing drugs.

    not just mixing medications with other medications, also mixing medications with exposure to hazardous workplace fumes, food/drink ingredients, skin care products, whatever bodybuilders are ingesting, etc. This stuff was obvious to me when I was a teenager and I've avoided pharmaceuticals like the plague ever since in case I actually need to take a medication someday. I haven't even taken tylenol in a decade and I'm feeling pretty great about that
    the solution to headaches is to eat healthy and don't be dehydrated btw; i probably average one tiny headache every 3 years, even with my stressful life -> it's just that you're never going to see a commercial telling you to drink some water instead of an advil commercial. Telling people to drink water and get exercise and eat fruits and vegetables isn't a business and can't support marketing efforts like big pharma or 'healthy' fast food

  • @paulj.brosnan3679
    @paulj.brosnan3679 8 лет назад +1

    As a medical doctor, I am part of an ever shrinking group of professionals who truly understand the medicine that they're prescribing. I do not give or prescribe any medication to my patients without fully understanding its effects, how it works with other medications, post-market observations, etc. Too many doctors in my profession are just dishing out medicine left and right without fully understanding it.

    • @Primalxbeast
      @Primalxbeast 8 лет назад

      +Paul Brosnan And then they get mad when question anything they prescribe. I've lost count of how many times I've been prescribed antibiotics when I didn't have an infection. One of the times he did this, the pharmacist immediately called him to make sure he wanted me taking that specific antibiotic with blood thinners when it could cause bleeding. I just didn't take it because knew I didn't even need it.

    • @paulj.brosnan3679
      @paulj.brosnan3679 8 лет назад +1

      Primalxbeast Generally, doctors tend to know what they're doing. However, as was mentioned in the talk above, they know how drugs work by themselves, but, we tend not to know how they work with others. I have taken the liberty of educating myself on how drugs work, as have most of the doctors in my practice (I work in a private hospital so we tend to be at the top of our game, public hospitals however simply don't have the qualified and educated staff that they need).

    • @BroCactus
      @BroCactus 8 лет назад

      +Paul Brosnan Great to hear that, however, I don't think you can ever truly understand complex biochemical interactions. You can only move closer to the truth. It's asymptotic.

    • @Primalxbeast
      @Primalxbeast 8 лет назад

      Paul Brosnan Well, it doesn't take much knowledge of drug interactions to figure out that a medication that can cause bleeding should be avoided if someone is on warfarin unless it's absolutely necessary, although warfarin is a pain in general when it comes to drug interactions.

    Back in 2017, the United Kingdom government announced an initiative to take on 250 pharmacists.
    They were going to be tasked with initially going into Nursing and Care Homes to check medication interactions. I thought that was a perfect idea. To reduce harmful medication interactions to improve quality of life. Also reduce the NHS burden for over 65's as all meds are free for them.
    Nothing has been reported anywhere since that announcement.
    Huge drug companies do not care about interactions between medications, only that you live long enough to take their meds for years.
    Then it was announced that any over the counter meds for skin problems, gluten allergy, many other allergies, urine infections, thrush, cystitis and a few others would no longer be prescribed. Each person is supposed to self diagnose without any testing.
    How dangerous do we think that is?
    Especially for the immunocompromised or allergy sufferers.
    Common sense is always bypassed by those with profits in mind.

    He is right, media nowadays can be used to check for things like drug interactions. But he has a problem: He just got lucky with those 2 drugs. There are millions of drugs and many of them don't interact. He can't just try out all the interaction combinations, that takes hundreds of years, and not only that, new drugs come out everyday. So unless he has a method of knowing which drugs are more likely to interact with eachother (those who aren't already proven to interact, he is wrong by saying there are no studies of drugs interactions previous to his'), he will be blindly guessing for interactions his whole life.

    I feel bad for TED. An amazing track record of quality free content for years, but as soon as a couple of questionable talks get posted the internet turns into a whiney entitled brat acting like TED owes them something.

    Who is going to type in 9 different drugs and a side effect into a search query? I can't see most people typing in more than 1 drug and a side effect or series of side effects at a time. If you as doctors really have no idea what happens when 9 drugs interact with one another, maybe its time to rethink the approach of using "the hammer" as a first line treatment, let alone the one and only treatment for every situation and be more open to adding other tools to your toolbox.
    The situation always seems to play out like this. Get sick, go see a western medical doctor, doctor tosses drug at you for problem. Some time passes, get sick again, go see the doctor(same or another one) to treat that new problem, doctor tosses drug at you to treat that problem. Eventually you get sick, go see the doctor, they ask what meds you are on and for some reason are shocked when you are on like 5 different meds *face palm*..
