I have always been fairly cynical about the usefulness of the automatic drug interactions system in our software, and perhaps this doesn't really help!

I tried to prescribe a low dose of Lyrica for neuropathic pain to patient who also has a prescription for E45 cream, and I was very surprised to see this......!!

Who knew about the CNS effects of E45??  You learn something every day.....
