Pick one prescription medication (or drug class) and one supplement or herbal ingredient below. If we have a documented interaction on file for that exact combination, sourced from the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements, NIH National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), MedlinePlus, or the FDA, we will show you the documented mechanism and link to the source. If we do not have a documented interaction on file, we will tell you that too, but that is not the same as a guarantee that the combination is safe. This tool never says a combination is “safe,” only whether a known interaction is documented in our sources.

How this tool works
Every entry in this checker’s data set is drawn directly from an NIH Office of Dietary Supplements fact sheet, an NIH National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) resource, a MedlinePlus page, or an FDA safety communication. If a commonly claimed supplement-drug interaction could not be traced to one of those sources, it was left out of this tool entirely rather than included with a hedge. That means this tool is intentionally incomplete. It covers roughly 35 of the most commonly documented and highest-consequence combinations, not every medication or every supplement that exists.
A “no documented interaction found” result means exactly that: our sources do not document a specific interaction for that exact pair. It does not mean the combination has been studied and cleared, and it is never a substitute for telling your doctor or pharmacist about every supplement you take.
