What should I do if I find a high-severity interaction?
Do not stop or change any medication without consulting your doctor. A high-severity interaction does not necessarily mean you should stop taking the medication — your doctor may have prescribed the combination intentionally with monitoring. Contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist to discuss the results. If you experience unusual symptoms, seek medical attention immediately.
