In order for your doctor and pharmacist to be able to optimally help you, it’s critical that at least one of your doctors (such as your primary care doctor) knows all of your medicines, and it’s best to get them all at the same pharmacy. Getty Images.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am an 84-year-old male in fairly good health for my age. I take 8-10 pills a day, including two over-the-counter medications. I take four or five in the morning and four or five in the evening. My question is, how effective are these medications if they are all being taken together and mixed in my stomach? Won’t there be some kind of chemical reaction resulting in less effectiveness?
