Q: Is there a Library database that checks interactions between prescriptions and supplements?

Question: Is there a library resource that allows me to check medication interactions between prescriptions and supplements?

Answer: Yes! Use the interactions checker in The Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database.

• Quickly screen for interactions between drugs and supplements. 

• Select multi-ingredient supplement products from Natural Medicine's Commercial Products database to pull in all relevant ingredients at once. 

• Plus, get evidence-based interaction ratings to help you determine which interactions are the most clinically significant.
