Eight medicines. Six guides. The interaction that actually hurts people sits above the strength. Fact stamp · Updated
Doses, warnings and interactions come off the current FDA prescribing information - not marketing copy or forum lore.
The thing that can hurt you goes at the top in plain words. Nitrates, tendons, pregnancy, tapers - no burying the lede.
Every medicine ends with a reader consultation, answered by a named physician who signs their work.
