Disclaimer:

According to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended, Section 201(g)(1), the term drug is defined as an “article intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease.” Technically, vitamins, minerals, trace elements, amino acids, herbs, or homeopathic remedies are not classified as drugs. However, these substances can have significant effects on physiology and must be used rationally. In this office, we discuss nutraceutical and botanical supplements but are not able to recommend for or against individual products. Although these products may be discussed regarding a specific therapeutic purpose, they have not been considered a treatment for any psychiatric condition. FDA-approved medications and therapy remain the primary treatment recommendations for psychiatric conditions. The use of nutritional and botanical supplements may be safely recommended for patients already using pharmaceutical medications, but some potentially harmful interactions may occur. For this reason, it is important to keep all of your healthcare providers fully informed about all medications and nutritional or botanical supplements you may be taking. HPMH offers nutraceutical and botanical products from trusted brands to our patients at a 25% discount. HPMH makes these products available to our patients to ensure the quality of the product at a discounted price. However, there is no obligation to purchase nutraceutical / botanical products from our office. You may purchase the same products elsewhere, and your quality of care at HPMH will not be affected by your decision to purchase or not purchase products from our office.
