Medication tracking and label information

See what the FDA-approved label says about what you logged.

Add your medications and Loopa can surface relevant language from FDA-approved product labeling involving other medicines, supplements, foods and drinks you recorded.

Included in Loopa Basic Source-linked. Never an all-clear.

Why it matters

The list lives in your head, and the warnings live in a leaflet

Most people on more than two medications are holding the whole picture from memory, plus whatever supplements they started, plus the grapefruit juice nobody mentioned. Loopa keeps the list and shows you what the labels actually say about the combinations in it.

What an alert shows

The label’s own words, not an opinion about them

Every alert is built from a sentence somebody at the FDA approved, and Loopa shows you which sentence and where it came from.

The sentence

Quoted, not paraphrased

The actual language from the approved label, so you can read what it says rather than a summary of what an app thought it meant.

The section it came from

In words

A boxed warning is not a precaution. Loopa names the section in a sentence, and that is also where the alert’s prominence comes from.

The label’s effective date

And its identifier

So you and a pharmacist can tell which version of which product label this is.

Your own timing, when it applies

And only then

Where a label states a separation time, Loopa can say how far apart you actually logged the two, on the day it happened. It reports your log against the label. It does not tell you to change anything.

This is one real alert. The block at the top is the bounded statement Loopa always shows. It says how many interactions were found, how many items were checked, against what and on what date. It also says how many items could not be matched, and that supplement-to-supplement combinations are not covered by this source.

Underneath it is the label’s own sentence in quotation marks, with the section it came from in words, the date that label took effect and its identifier. Then come the days you logged the two together, and one line telling you to talk to a pharmacist before changing anything.

Severity reflects where the label states it, not a clinical grade.

Loopa never says a combination is safe

This is the most important sentence on the page. No interaction found in the available labeling does not mean the combination is safe, that no interaction exists, that the source is exhaustive, or that anything you take should change.

What Loopa reports is bounded and it says so in its own words: nothing was stated in the labeling for the items it could match. Items it could not match are named rather than quietly dropped. When the reference data cannot be read at all, it says that instead of reporting an absence it cannot support.

Questions about your medication belong with your prescriber. Loopa records what you report and reflects it back.

What it covers, and what it does not

The limits are part of the feature

This is a report of what specific labels state. Calling it a comprehensive interaction checker would be a different and much larger claim, so Loopa does not make it.

Covered

Medication with medication

Including statements a label makes about a whole drug class, resolved against what you actually take.

Covered

Medication with a supplement

Found by searching drug labels for supplement ingredients. That direction only.

Covered

Medication with food, alcohol or caffeine

Against a short curated list of the terms labels actually name, led by grapefruit, alcohol and caffeine. Not a food database.

Not covered

Supplement with supplement

Drug labeling does not describe those combinations, so Loopa cannot report them and does not pretend to. It says so on the screen and in the document.

Not covered

Anything a label does not state

If the approved labeling is silent about a pair, Loopa has nothing to show. Silence in a label is not evidence of safety.

Not a clinical tool

By design and by description

Loopa has not been validated as a clinical decision support system and is not offered as one. It is a way to read what the label says.

Privacy

Your medication list does not leave the server for this

A list of what somebody takes is about as sensitive as a health record gets, so the check is built not to move it.

A local lookup

Not a request to anyone

Loopa holds its own copy of the labeling. The check runs against that copy. Nothing about you is sent to openFDA or to any third party to perform it.

No AI on this path

Deliberately

A language model asked about somebody’s medications produces something fluent, specific and unattributable. This feature quotes a label instead, and a test reads the source and fails the build if an AI call appears on it.

Encrypted, and unpooled

Even from us

Alerts are stored encrypted under your own key, and the stored form is deliberately built so the table cannot be grouped to find everyone on a given drug.

What Loopa can see
Two different things

Medication tracking is free. Protocol tracking is Premium.

They get confused because they both involve something you take, so here is the line.

FAQ

Questions about medication tracking

The ones worth answering before you trust anything with this.

Is medication tracking free?

Yes, all of it: the medication list, logging a dose, the interaction alerts and medication reminders, on the phone and in a browser. Interaction information affects safety and is deliberately not behind a paywall. What Premium adds is the clinician share report, which puts your list, your logged doses and the alerts Loopa surfaced in front of a clinician through a link you control.

Is this a drug interaction checker?

Not in the sense that phrase usually means. Loopa reports what FDA-approved product labeling states about combinations involving what you logged. It is not a comprehensive interaction database and it has not been validated as a clinical decision tool. It shows you the label’s own words so you can take them to a pharmacist.

What combinations does it cover?

What the labels state, between a medication and: another medication, a supplement, a food, alcohol, or caffeine. Supplement-to-supplement combinations are not covered at all, because the source is drug labeling and drug labeling does not describe them. The food and drink terms are a short curated list rather than a food database.

Does an empty result mean the combination is safe?

No, and Loopa never says it does. An empty result means nothing was stated in the labeling for the items Loopa could match. It does not mean no interaction exists, that the source is exhaustive, or that anything you take is fine. Loopa never uses the word safe about a combination.

Where does the information come from?

FDA-approved product labeling, through openFDA. Loopa holds its own copy, refreshed on a schedule by a job that runs with nobody’s data in it. Every alert quotes the label sentence, names the section it came from, and carries that label’s effective date.

Is my medication list sent to the FDA, or to an AI?

Neither. The check is a lookup against the copy on Loopa’s own servers. Nothing about you is sent to openFDA or anywhere else for it, and there is no AI anywhere on that path. Both of those are asserted by tests that read the source and fail the build if it changes.

Can Loopa tell me what to do about an alert?

No. It shows what the label states and directs you to your pharmacist or prescriber. The only concrete thing it will ever repeat is a separation time the label itself states. Even then, the next sentence is that your pharmacist can tell you what fits your schedule. Loopa does not suggest doses, timing changes, or stopping anything.

What about GLP-1, testosterone or hormone therapy?

Ordinary medication tracking covers those like anything else, free. The dedicated protocol tools, with a dose schedule, injection sites, a supply tracker, symptoms and labs, are a separate Premium feature. Protocol tracking.

Add what you take and see what the labels say

The list, the doses, the reminders and the label-based alerts are all part of Loopa Basic. What it finds is a conversation with your pharmacist, not an instruction.
