You can check online and/or ask your doctor, but I usually run new meds by my pharmacist.

There's also a book called Worst Pills, Best Pills worth checking out. Try your public library or Amazon. Also Google: worst pills best pills for websites with monthly updates/reports.

Not a bad idea to google each of your meds to learn more about them as well.
