If you are feeling: ok, I would not fret. The bottom line is that drug interactions that are listed on drug interaction checkers are usually about potential for interactions - it doesn't mean that there will necessarily be problems. However, your local pharmacist is an excellent source of information regarding potential for drug- drug interactions. Take care.
