The Health app provides users with information about drugs, but it is important to use the function only for expert medical judgement. If you decide to use the Health app to view drug information, be sure to do so in conjunction with a doctor. The app may also send you alerts if there are potential interactions between medications you are taking and other medications you may have.

The Health app will alert you if one of your drugs has the potential to have a serious side effect by interfering with another prescription on your list. Additionally, it will warn of any potential drug-alcohol interactions. However, as of right moment, the interactive function is only accessible in the US.
