When answering questions of a sensitive nature, stick to the facts and present both sides for the sake of transparent impartiality. Alternative medicine can be a controversial subject. In pharmacy, you'll need to be fully versed in the complexities of drug interactions. However, because dietary supplements are classified as foods and not regulated nearly as strictly as prescription drugs regarding efficacy and safety testing or marketing claims, you'll also need to be educated on these. Whether you are a proponent or opponent of supplements and alternative medicine, as a pharmacist, you'll need to ensure the safety of your patients. So share your knowledge of the complexities of such issues and your understanding of how they can impact the care you provide.
