Copied directly from a drug interaction checker results page:
Drug Interaction Classification.
These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major: Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate: Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor: Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown: No interaction information available.
