The growing use of dietary supplements, often combined with conventional drugs, creates a possibility of adverse reactions and interactions and asks for their safe application. The majority of patients do not disclose the use of dietary supplements to doctors; physicians are not always informed about the adoption of supplements and are often reluctant to initiate discussion on this topic. This lack of physician-patient comunication leads to an increased risk of the dietary supplements use. PURPOSE: То еstablish some of physician-patient communication problems on the use of dietary supplements. METHODS: This is a pilot study on the use of dietary supplements among the population of the town Stara Zagora. The pilot study was conducted by self-administrated questionnaire on people aged 19 to 59 years (n = 24). RESULTS: The opinion of 45.8% of all respondents in this pilot study is that when visiting doctors they have never been asked about the use of dietary supplements.78.8% of users of dietary supplements in the study did not tend to spontaneously share with their physicians that they accept food supplements. CONCLUSION: The low level of communication on the use of dietary supplements highlights the need for a new type of physician-patient relationships in order to reduce the risks associated with the use of dietary supplements.
