Some interactions don't matter, but others can be serious. This site explains what you need to know, written by people with expertise in this area.
We start with the basics of how food and drug interactions work, then cover specific drug types used for heart problems, pain, blood clots, infections, diabetes, cancer, allergies, and mental health. For each one, we explain what symptoms to watch for and what to do if you're worried.
