Our database checks for known interactions and returns a clear severity rating — major, moderate, or minor.

Read plain-English guidance

Every result explains what the interaction is, why it matters, and what you should do about it.

Understanding Severity Levels

What each rating means for your safety.

Major
Major Interaction

The combination can cause serious harm or be life-threatening. Avoid unless specifically directed by a doctor who is aware of both medications.

Moderate
Moderate Interaction

The combination may worsen a condition, reduce effectiveness, or increase side effects. Use with caution and inform your doctor or pharmacist.

Minor
Minor Interaction

The interaction is unlikely to cause significant problems for most people, but it's worth being aware of. Monitor for any unusual effects.

Always talk to your pharmacist

This tool covers common interactions but is not exhaustive. Your pharmacist has access to your complete medication history and can provide personalized guidance. Consultations are free and available without an appointment at most pharmacies.
