It would be good for them to update their eligibility quiz to include medications. I passed the quiz (and am type O-), but can't donate due to medications.

Their medication book is 5cm thick. Some restrict whole blood but not plasma, others perfect everything for weeks to months. It would only get onto the questionnaire if out was used commonly enough

The short list I linked would be a good start though, at least excluding the common stuff would be a start.
