Drug interactions how to check?

[lotuslight]

hello, I am on a lot of meds similar to most of you i imagine.
I recently got new meds , and a lot of online medical interaction checkers dont recognise some and when you have around 5 meds take already how on Earth can I check?
Chemists seem reluctant to check too. Just wondering if any of you have same problem?

Maybe I'm missing something, but it sounds as simple as just reading a sentence or two from each information leaflet that comes with each drug.

Interactions, side effects and contra-indications should be listed on the leaflet... Have you tried that? (If the lettering is too small, leaflets are usually also available online).

Are you entering brand names for drugs eg Panadol? Try entering the generic name so for Panadol for example enter paracetamol. Are the drug checkers right for your country?
