We are on Magic 5.4 and use a specific Order Type of "H" or Home Med for items that a patient takes at home but was not prescribed at the hospital. I would like to enter nutraceuticals so that they can be checked for interactions, but do not want to clutter up my drug dictionary with herbal products. I thought about creating a single nutraceutical drug and then attaching all ingredients to it from the ingredient dictionary that qualify as natural products. Unfortunately, the natural products are not available in the generic dictionary, only in the ingredient allergy dictionary. This would flag allergies, but not drug interactions (as far as I understand it). Has anyone come up with a solution to checking for interactions with natural products?
