Acknowledge Allergy - Drug Interactions
The DUR checks the selected allergy against the list of all active medications. If any interactions are found, they appear on the Interaction Check DUR window.
Note: User-defined allergies and medications are not checked for interactions. The display of allergy interactions is based on the display levels set for the system and/or a specific user.
If the Show DUR across enterprise option is enabled, NextGen® Enterprise EHR checks for possible interactions with the patient's medications across all practices.
