This is a big issue, but there are too many drugs now and the multiple combinations are almost limitless so lists would be nearly impossible.
Most GP and pharmacy software now flags up interactions, mine uses a traffic light system. Its not even as simple as that though since doctors will not infrequently decide that it is appropriate to accept a potential interaction, when balanced against the advantages. I had a quick trawl though the net mostly the tables I saw did not allow public access and/or required professional training to use them.

I dont know of a website, i think there must be one but i have looked for the very same type of site and never had luck to find one-so now i just email the pharmacist at savon drug store asking what i need to know about different meds taken together etc and they get back to me normally in 24 hrs or less

you should either talk to the doctor that prescribed the meds, or a nurse at that office, or talk to the pharmacist who filled the RX.
