Drug interactions

Does anyone know if there's a database for checking out drug interactions? My mom has been put on another medication, and I worry about her taking so many. I don't like her doctor, he just gives her a prescription instead of discussing lifestyle changes.

Medscape actually has a drug interactions checker where you simply type in all your drugs then it searches its own database for you and alerts you to any possible interactions.
Heres the link

I think that another option to checking a database to try and determine what interactions may occur, would be to talk with a pharmacist. Many of them do consultations.
