West Vancouver, BC, October 17, 2018--(T-Net)--GenXys announced this month the release of its new drug-drug interaction checker which will be built right into the company's TreatGx precision prescribing software.
The checker is powered by DrugBank, a comprehensive drug database containing more than 280,000 drug-drug interactions. The upgrade includes an easier-to-use interface with a predictive drug-entry system and better navigation tools.
Drug-drug interactions are a major contributor to adverse drug reactions, and more up to half of these adverse reactions are preventable. The TreatGx software now identifies all potential interactions with a patient's current medications in order to allow selection of the safest and most effective medications.
TreatGx has always incorporated contraindicated drug-drug interactions and has taken the step of eliminating drugs from the list of drug options if there is a chance of a dangerous interaction. With this update, TreatGx now also identifies other clinically-relevant interactions that may still result in minor side effects or necessitate more careful monitoring.
In addition to all the other clinical information that TreatGx considers in identifying the safest and most effective medications for each patient, drug-drug interactions are one more piece of the puzzle. With each additional medication a patient is taking, the potential for a significant drug-drug interaction increases exponentially. TreatGx also takes into account drug-gene and drug-condition interactions to personalize each prescription.
The company says it is continuing to develop new conditions and to maintain all other conditions with the most up-to-date guidelines and medications.
Here's what's new:
