Abstract:

Answer:

Any two medical drugs (medicines) can have severe interactions. You should always ask your doctor and / or pharmacists if you have to combine any two drugs (including over-the-counter pharmacies).

An excellent database of drug interaction is provided by the German Journal of Online Psychiatry interaction calculator.
