How to address medication safety concerns with roommates and friends

My college roommate takes ADHD medication that interacts with a lot of common drugs, but she's been borrowing random pills from friends for headaches and sleep without checking if they're safe together. I've tried to warn her a few times but she says I'm being paranoid, and now I'm torn between respecting her autonomy and watching her take risks she doesn't seem to understand.
