A moderate interaction POTENTIAL means the dr needs to be sure he knows what all you're taking. It's a "potential interaction" ... doesn't mean it's going to happen for sure.

Moderate is more than slight and not as bad as severe. You need to be in contact with your dr about anything you take when you see the potential for interaction. Hope that helps. God bless.
