Drug-Food Interaction Information for Consumers

Convenient Access to Reliable Information Written Expressly for Consumers

As consumers have become more involved in managing their own healthcare, the demand for drug information that's easy to understand has increased. To meet this need, First DataBank has developed the Drug-Food Interaction Module for Consumers, which includes interactive monographs on potential drug-food interactions, written expressly for the consumer.

Help Prevent Serious Drug-Food Interactions

This module provides your patients with tools for monitoring their own medications and preventing harmful drug-food interactions. And they remind patients to consult their healthcare providers before starting, stopping or changing any medication.

Precise, Comprehensive Drug-Food Interaction Monographs

The Drug-Food Interaction Module for Consumers educates consumers about potential interactions that may occur between certain drugs and certain foods. Monographs are in everyday language, written especially for a consumer audience. Sections cover:

  • Monograph title
  • Medical warning
  • How the drug-food interaction occurs
  • What might happen
  • What you should do about this drug-food interaction
  • References

These monographs offer consumers a version of the expert information found in our traditional monographs for professionals within the Drug-Food Interaction Module.
