Dependencies & Risk Rating Scaleĭependencies (if applicable): Identifies various factors that may influence the occurrence or severity of the interaction. The risk ratings and dependencies are defined in more detail below. In addition to the risk rating scale, dependencies associated with a particular drug interaction will also be listed. To remove the filters selected, simply click the Reset Filters button to return to the full, unfiltered interaction analysis results. You may filter by drugs or allergies entered and/or by various risk ratings. You can jump to a particular screening category or filter the interactions that are displayed on the Interaction Analysis screen by using the available drop- down menus. Each letter represents a different level of urgency in responding to the identified interactions. An assigned risk rating (A, B, C, D or X) appears next to each drug-drug and drug-allergy interaction. The summary statements include the search terms used, along with the corresponding generic name(s), if applicable. The Interaction Analysis screen provides a summary of interactions organized by drug-drug, drug-allergy, and duplicate therapy sections. If you do not want the duplicate therapy screening to be performed, the box can be unchecked prior to selecting the Analyze button. The Duplicate Drug Therapy feature is automatically checked to provide information about selected medications that are considered duplicate therapies because they belong to the same pharmacologic class. Once the list is complete, click the Analyze button to perform an analysis. To remove an item from the list, uncheck the selected box next to the product you wish to remove. Continue this process until all items are added. After you enter at least two (2) characters, suggested terms will populate, and you can select the desired term from the list. To enter an item, begin typing a keyword into the "Drugs" and/or "Allergies" box in the left pane. Allergies may be entered by medication name (e.g., aspirin) or by the pharmacologic class (e.g., salicylates).
