Drug-Drug Interaction (DDI) Checker

The DDI Checker (pharmacy/pages/interactions.php) looks up potential interactions between a list of drugs (by generic name), helping catch dangerous combinations before dispensing.

Step-by-step

  1. Go to DDI Checker.
  2. Enter the generic names of the drugs to check, one per line.
  3. Submit — the system checks each pair against its interaction database and lists any interactions found.
  4. Review flagged interactions and consult the prescribing doctor if a significant concern is identified before dispensing.

Common issues & fixes

the checker relies on its own interaction database; it isn't a substitute for clinical judgment or a fully comprehensive drug interaction reference.
the checker matches on generic names; convert brand names to generics first if unsure.
