CVS Caremark's retail division, CVS/pharmacy, has announced the launch of a feature on its CVS Mobile app that allows users to check potential drug interactions between over-the-counter and prescription drugs.
The Drug Interaction Checker allows patients to either enter the OTC drug name or scan the product's barcode to compare product details against medications previously entered into the app.
"Our new Drug Interaction Checker empowers our customers to make important decisions about their health with a convenient tool that determines whether an over-the-counter product may impact the prescriptions they are taking," said Brian Tilzer, senior vice president and chief digital officer for CVS/pharmacy, in the news release.
