Red Flag Medication Quick List

This is a quick reference for medications you should look out for. If patients are taking any of these, I will screen this case even more carefully and consider even not taking on the case.

This list is so important that I want you to print out the attachment and put it up in your dental office. Put it somewhere that all of your assistants can see so that they can also be alert for any of the medications on this list.
