umm.. ok here's my take. The doctor who prescribed the pills should have told the man about the interactions and possible side effects etc. Most people don't really think about drug interactions.. they just know that a doctor gave them pills and they fill the script and take them. You can say it was a lack of common sense but the fact still remains that people trust doctors and what they say. So in my mind.. this falls back into the doctors or pharmacists lap who failed to inform the man.
