Convenient Access to Reliable Information Written Expressly for Consumers
As consumers have become more involved in managing their own healthcare, the demand for drug information that's easy to understand has increased. To meet this need, First DataBank has developed the Drug-Food Interaction Module for Consumers, which includes monographs on potential drug-food interactions, written expressly for the consumer.
Help Prevent Serious Drug-Food Interactions
This module provides your patients with tools for monitoring their own medications and preventing harmful drug-food interactions. And they remind patients to consult their healthcare providers before starting, stopping or changing any medication.
Comprehensive, Specific Drug-Food Interaction Monographs
The Drug-Food Interaction Module for Consumers educates consumers about potential interactions that may occur between certain drugs and certain foods. Monographs are in everyday language, written especially for a consumer audience. Sections cover:
- Monograph title
- Medical warning
- How the drug-food interaction occurs
- What might happen
- What you should do about this drug-food interaction
- References
As opposed to generalized information that includes a list of all interactions for particular drug, the Module faciliates the ability for users to input specific medications and view only those interactions related to these medications.
These monographs offer consumers a version of the expert information found in our traditional monographs for professionals within the Drug-Food Interaction Module.
