This checker summarises widely published UK guidance (NHS, patient information leaflets, standard prescribing references) for general information only. It is not medical advice, it is not exhaustive, and it cannot account for your dose, kidney function, other medicines, or health conditions. Always follow your prescriber, pharmacist, or the patient information leaflet — especially before changing what you eat or drink. See our editorial policy.

Frequently asked questions
Which medications does the checker cover?
+
15 medication groups where food genuinely matters: GLP-1s (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro), MAOIs, warfarin, DOACs like apixaban, statins, levothyroxine, lithium, spironolactone, ACE inhibitors, metformin, methotrexate, SSRIs, tetracycline antibiotics, PPIs like omeprazole, and corticosteroids. Each is backed by a full written guide — and the checker grows automatically as we publish new medication guides.
Is this medical advice?
+
No. It summarises widely published UK guidance for general information. It cannot account for your dose, kidney function, other medicines, or conditions — always follow your prescriber, pharmacist, and the patient information leaflet.
A food I searched is not listed — does that mean it is safe?
+
No. We only list foods with recognised, well-documented interactions. If a food is not listed, treat it as unverified and check with your pharmacist.
Where does the data come from?
+
NHS medicines guidance, patient information leaflets, and standard prescribing references, kept deliberately conservative. Each medication links to our full cited guide, and our editorial policy explains how we research and correct content.
