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.

  • zolpidem (ambien)

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: Moderate risk

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

What Tiffany advises
If cannabis is working for your sleep, many patients are able to stop the prescription aid. Plan that taper with your prescriber rather than stopping cold.
