Why You Should Always Check Drug Interactions

Drug interactions are responsible for an estimated 3–5% of hospital admissions in Nigeria and worldwide. They can cause reduced drug effectiveness, increased toxicity, or unexpected side effects. This checker uses clinical interaction data from standard references. Always add every medication, traditional remedy, and supplement – including herbal teas and tonics. If you take more than five medicines, your risk of a significant interaction rises sharply.

How to Use This Checker

Select at least two items from the list. The tool will compare your selection against a database of known interactions. For each pair, you'll see a severity level (high, moderate, mild, or none) and a clinical explanation. Use the share buttons to send your results to your doctor or pharmacist. For comprehensive safety, we recommend a full medication review with a pharmacist.

Limitations & When to See a Doctor

This tool does not include all possible interactions. It does not account for your dose, age, kidney/liver function, or other health conditions. If you have a serious reaction (e.g., bleeding, confusion, breathing difficulty), seek emergency care immediately. For routine safety, share your full medication list with your doctor or pharmacist at each visit.
