Online interaction check: check medications quickly & easily

This is how the brite app helps you in everyday life

Interactions are not a side issue. They affect millions of people every day. A classic example: Ibuprofen can weaken the antihypertensive effect of ramipril and at the same time strain the kidneys. If you take L-thyroxine with iron supplements or magnesium, you risk that the thyroid hormone is not absorbed properly. And citalopram together with ibuprofen increases the risk of bleeding by 12 times. The problem: Not every doctor knows the full list of medications. And over-the-counter remedies, vitamins and herbal supplements are often forgotten when talking to a doctor. The brite interaction check fills this gap: You enter all medications — prescribed and over-the-counter — and receive initial guidance on potential conflicts. This doesn't replace the doctor, but it gives you the right questions for your next interview.
