The definitions of interactions are those of the AFSSAPS.
- The contraindications: are absolute and must not be transgressed.
- Discouraged associations: must be avoided in most cases, except after review depth of the benefit / risk and requires close monitoring of the patient.
- Precautions for use: are the most frequent case. The association is possible from there is compliance, especially in early treatment recommendations for simple avoid the occurrence of interaction (titration, strengthening clinical surveillance, biological, etc ...).
- Take into account: where the potential drug interaction exists, and usually corresponds to the addition of side effects and no practical recommendation can be proposed. It is the physician to assess the appropriateness of the association.
Each interaction is represented by an icon as shown below.
Unrecognized drug (no interactions can be calculated)
Known drug without any interactions
Low level of interaction : INN already present in the prescription
Low level of interaction : Precautions of use
Interaction : Take into account
Interaction : Discouraged associations
Interaction : Contraindication
Pure textual prescription, interactions can not be calculated.
The interactions are detailed. Are presented:
- nature of risk: Major side effects or loss of efficacy and mechanism... Action summary, when available
- level of stress: Contraindication, Association recommended, see above...
- to behave. These informations are actually only available in french.
The interactions are calculated in real time. This means that every addition of a drug in the prescription (double click in the search / selection), interactions are automatically recalculated. No additional action on your part is required.
The search for interactions involves analysis of INN and therapeutic classes defined by AFSSAPS. The INN can belong to several classes. The INN and the classes are presented in the tooltip that appears under the name of the drug when you leave the mouse over without action.
- Note:
- It is also possible to add drugs just for testing purposes. These drugs will not be notified when printing the prescription (this is useful to test intercurrent treatment in patients already receiving chronic treatment). They will only be used for calculating the interactions. Add in the prescription drugs solely for testing
- Warning:
- WARNING: All medications are not necessarily recognized INN, INN or all of their are not necessarily known. It is therefore necessary to check the icon when prescribing (see above: Unrecognized drugs).
For information on interactions,
please refer to the thesaurus interactions AFSSAPS and its user manual (french only).
The window dosages presents the existence or non-drug interaction for the bias an icon in the upper left corner.
The details of interactions are available by clicking on the name of the drug in the dosage windowor by activating the "interactions' synthesizer" by clicking on the ad hoc (one pair of eyes). The synthesizer present you, in a separate window, recalling the order analyzed, and each interaction found: INN and drug cases and all information interaction. The summary can be printed with your header, footer and watermark printing with a click.
The synthesizer is an indispensable tool for pharmacies or prescription's analysis consultations.
