Where it comes from

The text comes from the official FDA label, through the U.S. National Library of Medicine (DailyMed and RxNav) and the FDA’s openFDA. An AI model rewrites each section in plain English from that label text only. It doesn’t add anything of its own.

The original label is always one tap away: tap Open under a section.

When two medications are mentioned together

If one medication’s FDA label names another medication on the same list, peaflow quotes that sentence and says “Ask the pharmacist about taking these together”. peaflow doesn’t rate or judge combinations.

This is information from the label, not medical advice. Confirm with your pharmacist or doctor.
