Yes, there are many. Just google: drug interactions and they'll come up. Here's one:

For side effects for any particular medication, most should be listed on the information sheets that come with prescriptions (or ask your pharmacist). You can also just google the name of any particular medication, followed by "side effects" (e.g. google: penicillin side effects )
