Drug interactions

Drug interactions are when two different drugs interact with each other in your body. This can happen when you take two or more medicines at the same time. When your body gets too much of certain medicines, it can cause problems. For example, if you take medicines to help a headache go away, but then you take another medicine that also helps with headaches, too much medicine can make your headache worse. This is an example of a drug interaction.
