There is not a lot available to the public besides what is provided by some pharmacies and a few websites. I know Walgreens has a drug interactions site, but you do have to register on their site. Another site like www.naturaldatabase.com is a great resource, but limited information is available unless you purchase additional access, which can be pretty expensive. Otherwise, if you are affiliated with a college, university or public library you may be able to get access that way.
Unfortunately, information on herbal supplements is not as readily available as it should be, but the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine is working to make reliable sources more available. Until then, talking to a physician, naturopath, herbalist, or pharmacist is a valuable source to use if the sites do not have information on the herbs or supplements you need.
