Health care practitioner: Drug Interactions and Drug Information good website

Pharmacists, physicians and nurses, This is a good drug interaction and drug information website.

Drug interactions are changes in a drug's effects due to recent or concurrent use of another drug or drugs (drug-drug interactions), ingestion of food (drug-nutrient interactions—see Nutrient-Drug Interactions), or ingestion of dietary supplements (dietary supplement-drug interactions—see Some Possible Dietary Supplement–Drug Interactions*).

A drug-drug interaction may increase or decrease the effects of one or both drugs. Clinically significant interactions are often predictable and usually undesired (see Table 2: Some Drugs With Potentially Serious Drug-Drug Interactions*).
