title: A drug-to-drug interaction package.
abstract: This paper describes an electronic database for handling the interactions between active principles administered to various patients. The computer used is a personal computer with adequate mass memory, software, and data obtained from pharmacological sources. The main features of this work are: 'all-patient' orientation, a special sentence-coding system, suitability for most existing catalogues of drug interactions, drug-keyed and cause-and-effect-keyed accesses, menu-driven interaction between the user (a physician) and the system, implementation on a personal computer (as available in most hospital departments) and activation from other programs.
