Whoa, where did I imply that?  That's a tad extreme.

I don't take enough prescription medications that are likely to kill me 
due to drug interactions.  Been taking the same two Rx drugs for years, 
no problems.  I'm sorry if you and your husband take a lot of medication 
that you have to worry about what your doctor prescribes and need a 
pharmacist to intervene.  Or perhaps you could just ask your doctor(s). 
Or, as you are fond of saying, Google it.
