About Drug Interactions

A drug interaction occurs when the effect of a particular drug is altered when it is taken with another drug, or with food.

The Drug Interactions Guide explains the mechanism of each drug interaction, the level of significance of the interaction (major, moderate or minor), and in certain cases, can provide the recommended course of action to manage the interaction. Drugs.com is the Internet’s dedicated prescription drug information web search engine for both professionals and consumers. The web site offers free access to a comprehensive directory and information database of over 24,000 FDA-approved prescription and OTC drugs, powered by the respected Micromedex and Multum databases. Recent statistics show that Healthcare sites are one of the fastest-growing online destination areas, and that even ‘consumers’ prefer those sites offering reliable, authoritative, ‘professional’ drug information.
