Our drug interaction checker is based on established medical literature and contains over 200 common medications with well-documented interactions. It identifies major, moderate, and minor interactions based on clinical evidence. However, it may not include every possible interaction or recent drug approvals. Always consult with your pharmacist or healthcare provider for personalized advice.
If you discover a high-risk interaction between your medications, do not stop taking any medication without consulting your healthcare provider. Contact your doctor or pharmacist immediately to discuss alternatives, timing adjustments, or monitoring strategies. Never make medication changes on your own, as this could be dangerous.
