About
Medscape's Drug Interaction Checker helps you build safer, more effective treatment plans by quickly identifying potential interactions between medications, supplements, and even common foods. Whether you are reviewing a new prescription, managing a complex regimen, or discussing options with a patient, this tool provides reliable, easy-to understand results to guide your decisions.
Features include:
- Enables clinicians to search multiple drugs for potential interactions
- Contains the mechanism by which an interaction occurs (eg, CYP450 enzyme inhibition or induction, pharmacodynamic synergism or antagonism).
- Includes what action the clinician should consider by assigning the interaction to one of the following categories:
						- Contraindicated – Risk of concomitant use of these drugs outweigh the benefits
- Serious - Use Alternative – Avoid concomitant use or consider alternate drug therapy; may include dosage modifications if combination is unavoidable
- Monitor Closely – Monitor for increased effects, adverse effects, or reduced efficacy
- Minor – Coadministration does not cause clinically meaningful differences or are unknown
