Method for analyzing side effects and interactions of pharmaceuticals
First Claim
1. A method of analyzing interactions between pharmaceuticals used by a patient, comprising:
- providing a computer program having patient data information of a patient, a pharmaceutical profile section showing pharmaceuticals used by the patient, a diagnose profile section showing diagnose information about the patient and an over-sensitivity profile section showing pharmaceuticals and medical substances to which the patient is sensitive;
analyzing a medical database linked to the computer program to determine if a prescribed pharmaceutical is incompatible with the diagnose information in the diagnose profile section and issuing a warning when the prescribed pharmaceutical is incompatible with the diagnose information;
analyzing active substances of the prescribed pharmaceutical and determining if the prescribed pharmaceutical is included in the over-sensitivity profile section and issuing a warning when the prescribed pharmaceutical is included or contains a substance that is included in the over-sensitivity profile section; and
determining if the prescribed pharmaceutical is incompatible with the pharmaceuticals of the pharmaceutical profile section and issuing a warning when the prescribed pharmaceutical is incompatible with the pharmaceuticals of the pharmaceutical profile section.

Abstract
The method is a computer program for analyzing interactions between pharmaceuticals used by a patient by analyzing the prescribed pharmaceutical with a pharmaceutical profile section showing pharmaceuticals used by the patient, a diagnose profile section showing diagnose information about the patient, and an over-sensitivity profile section showing pharmaceuticals and medical substances to which the patient is sensitive. The program automatically issues warnings if the prescribed drug is incompatible with any of the pharmaceuticals or active substances of the pharmaceuticals listed in the pharmaceutical profile or over-sensitivity profile sections. The program also warns about side effects that may interfere with patient activities such as driving, breast feeding, alcohol, etc.
