Drug to Drug Interactions
Potential drug-to-drug interactions are identified and reported to the dispensing pharmacy on-line as the prescription is filled. Drugs in new prescriptions are compared to previously prescribed drugs the member may be taking, regardless of which pharmacy in the network filled the prescription. If an interaction is detected, a message is sent to the pharmacy alerting them to potential problem. This allows the pharmacist at the dispensing pharmacy to further explore the potential problem with the member and/or physician.
