How is The Medical Letters Interactions Database different from other commercially available interactions databases?
The Medical Letter’s database is clinically oriented. It contains interactions that are well documented and likely to be important clinically, but does not contain all theoretical interactions. Theoretical interactions that are considered contraindications by the FDA are generally included, however. The result is a database of interactions that are important clinically – not just a long list of theoretical interactions. For this reason, an interactions report derived from The Medical Letter’s Database may differ from a typical pharmacy-derived report.
