title: Evaluation of drug interaction microcomputer software: an updated comparison.
abstract: Nine drug interaction microcomputer software programs were evaluated and compared using clinical and general ease of use criteria. Descriptions of major changes or additions since the last review are detailed. The ability to screen for drug interactions was based on recent drug-drug and drug-food interactions. Recommended programs based on three price ranges are suggested.
