Medication checker

Check your medications against cannabis

Type every prescription you take. The checker matches each name to a drug class in a pharmacist-reviewed reference and tells you what interacts, why, and what to do about it. It never says a combination is fine; it only reports what the reference covers.

  • alprazolam (xanax)

Type a generic or brand name and press Enter or a comma to add it. Nothing you type is stored on our servers; the list travels in the page address only when you share it.

1 interaction found, highest: High risk

Sorted highest risk first. Two medications from the same class are shown as one finding, because the interaction belongs to the class.

High riskYou typed: alprazolam

Benzodiazepines

Why it happens
The two stack as central nervous system depressants. Each one slows breathing, throws off balance, and sedates on its own.
What it means for you
Taken together, the sedation and the chance of a fall both go up, and that matters most for patients 65 and older.
What Tiffany advises
Tiffany's advice is to avoid the combination, especially at night. If you genuinely need both, start each at the lowest dose that works and do not add the two on the same day.
