drug interaction

[desidiabulum]

Hi all,
I noticed this drug interaction checker on another forum. It’s well worth a check. Good GPs like mine tend to be well-briefed on drug side-effects, but perhaps not always on drug interaction, going on what I found:

Thanks. That should be a great help. Pharmacists are naturally bettter than Drs at checking for interactions but not always available when they are needed. Great find!!

Well, if I need to check something with my GP, its" play the call at 8am lottery" but if i need my pharmacist here is one of the team there usually 8:30am to 11:00pm.

The only problem with American drug checkers is that they don't know what paracetamol and gliclazide are.

This is a UK site for checking/reporting drug reactions: https://www.rxisk.org/Default.aspx

Thanks for that, very interesting site! I normally use my BNF and have caught a couple of instances where it would be a bad idea to mix certain drugs!
