Drug CHECKER
Medication and Side Effects Data Report
Information and Data Report Service
A drug interaction occurs when the effect of a particular drug is altered when it is taken with another drug, or with food. Side effects are usually regarded as undesirable secondary conditions that occur in addition to the desired therapeutic effect of a drug.
Side effects vary for each individual depending on the person's disease state, age, weight, gender, ethnicity and general health. A side effect can occur when commencing, decreasing/increasing dosages, or ending a treatment regime. It may also lead to non-compliance with prescribed treatment.When severe, dosage may be adjusted or a second medication may be prescribed. Lifestyle or dietary changes may also help to minimize side effects.
* Drug CHECKER is a resource that provides reports on side effects and drug interactions for 24,000 over-the-counter and prescription drugs
* Drug CHECKER explains the mechanism of drug interaction and the level of significance of the interaction in major, moderate or minor terms
* Drug CHECKER reports on interaction between specific drugs and food
CAUTION: TAKING PHARMACEUTICAL SUBSTANCES CAN SERIOUSLY AFFECT SAFETY
Prescribed Medication
Drug CHECKER provides comprehensive information and data on known prescribed drugs but it does not substitute professional medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, examination, nor replace the need for services provided by medical and health professionals.
Key Safety Support
We very often detect prescribed substances during a routine drugs screen so it is important to know that this medication is legitimate, especially if you employ a safety critical workforce. Up to 20% of donors fail a pre-employment drugs screen due to prescribed drugs.
The absence of a Drug CHECKER warning is not an indication that a specific drug or drug combination is safe, effective or appropriate for a given case. A Drug CHECKER report should always be reviewed for a thorough understanding of action, use and side effects.
A workplace drugs screen is fundamentally about identifying illegal substance misuse. A workplace drugs screen is fundamentally not about intervention of medical treatment.
