gerry:
This is from the DHHS Treatment Guidelines.  It is not meant to be exhaustive; there are a lot more drug interactions that need to be considered in addition to what's listed here.  Some meds that are uncommonly used or are no longer available in the US have been removed.  For more details on individual drugs, check out the drugs section of this website...

Very helpful.

University of Liverpool's Dept of Pharmacology drug interaction websit is also good for checking interactions, but you need to know generic drug names and drug classes - gives you key info from studies though.

The Body's pages of drug interactions details interactions by drug name, including recreational drugs.

Gerry,

 Thanks for posting the current DHHs treatment guidelines.( link for PDF) I had downloaded it the other week, when it came out, but lost it, when I had reformatted my computer. Good to have it back again.
