I know the pharmacy tells you they check to make sure all the meds you take are ok with each other, but is there a website where you can type in what you take and see if they are all ok to interact.

Also maybe show all the side effects??

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 )

I prefer this one because it lists so many details. After you do your check, click on the drug name for all the interactions possible. This one also give food/herb interactions.

Keep in mind no drug checker database is 100% reliable.
Some are not updated quickly, so very new drugs may have
less information.
