Benefits:

• Significance ratings provide relative ratings of the interactions
• Quick identification of potential severity of interactions and intervention needed to minimize the risk of the interaction. Informs reader of drug combinations for which the available evidence suggests no interaction
• Indexed by generic drug names to include selected product nameswith cross-references to the generic equivalents
• Easy-to-find information
• Information is compiled from up-to-date primary biomedical literature as well as case study information
• Stay current with information from all available sources; fully referenced
• Risk Factors identifies patient or drug specific factors that have been identified as contributing to the magnitude or severity of the interaction
• Helps readers assess the likelihood of an interaction occurrence
• Related Drugs lists similar agents that would also be expected to interact
• Helps prescribers eliminate drugs that are unsafe alternatives
• Management options describes options for patient management based on the actions that are necessary to avoid patient harm
• Provides guidelines for circumventing or minimizing interactions and monitoring patients. Recommends possible alternatives to the interacting drugs when appropriate
