Most interactions are on your pharmacy pamphlet that comes with your RX. For example, magnesium would block absorption of Neurontin (often used for pain).

Calcium blocks Cipro and thyroid, tetracycline therapy, etc.

Too much folate may block anti-seizure drugs effectiveness.

And there is a whole discipline now of drugs that block nutrient effectiveness.

I have found very few doctors who know this exists!

The problem with asking is that many times, there is no answer for you...many doctors remain clueless. The pharmacy will have a data base (if it is a large chain type) to look things up for you and the net has information.

Today, the knife cuts both ways! Your drugs may be doing more harm to you than your realize!
