1. A method comprising:
- receiving, via the Internet on a computing device, a purchase selection from a user device of an over-the-counter (OTC) drug product;
receiving, via the Internet on the computing device, associated usage data reflecting a purchaser indication via the user device of whether the OTC drug product is for chronic use or acute use;
accessing, on the computing device, a claims database storing claims data of a patient associated with the OTC drug product;
accessing, on the computing device, a second computing device;
receiving, on the computing device, a token from the second computing device, the token being valid for a predetermined period of time;
in response to receipt of the purchaser indication that the OTC drug product is for chronic use, transmitting, on the computing device, a request and the token to the second computing device to perform a drug utilization review (DUR) based on the OTC drug product and the claims data of the patient;
receiving, on the computing device, a drug interaction alert based on performance of the DUR when the token is valid;
when the drug interaction alert is for a severe interaction, generating and transmitting a notification to the user device via the Internet reflecting that purchase of the OTC drug product cannot be completed based on the drug interaction alert; and
when the drug interaction alert is not for a severe interaction, processing the purchase selection of the identified OTC drug product,wherein the computing device prompts a user to re-login when the token is not valid.
