drug interactions, food-drug interactions, drug allergy coding, and manufacturer's data.
This facilitates the construction of an institutional database by avoiding large amounts of data entry.
Each application is accompanied by fully documented, online help texts.
These texts can be accessed through the associated button on the tool bar or
