There are two sites I know about and regularly use that provide drug side effects and interactions, or detailed information about the drugs you have been prescribed.
The first is Surveyor Health:
The second is WorstPills:
If you know about other similar sites, please let us know.
Hi Berci,
Epocrates is good for interaction and side effect checking too. Free online search, also app for mobile phones. http://www.epocrates.com/

Hi there,
I’m a great fan of your work, keep it up!
I didn’t know the sites you’ve mentioned here. I use medscape interaction checker http://www.medscape.com/druginfo/druginterchecker.
There is also a coupe of great sites in swedish:
1. Fass, which is the national drug reference http://www.fass.se/LIF/home/index.jsp?UserTypeID=0 it also includes a pill identifier which helps you identify the drug by the patients description of the pill…
2. janusinfo http://www.janusinfo.se/ contains lots of tools including an interaction checker, drug usage during pregnancy and breastfeeding, among other useful stuff.
Thank you for the tips, I’m going to update the entry.
