Actually, what prompted me to write today was a commercial for something I 
saw on TV today.  I haven't a clue what is was (sleep aid, ED, whatever) but 
I do remember it was a prescription drug that they told the viewer to ask 
their doctor about and in the really fast talking at the end of all these 
commercials was the admonition not to take it if taking glucosamine.

It surprised me to hear that but made me think to mention it here.  Perhaps 
it can interact with some pharmaceuticals?  Or perhaps these supplements can 
affect absorption of the phamaceuticals and keep them from working properly. 
  In any case, I'm just passing along what I heard.  You do get what you pay 
for, after all.
