With the progression and the convenience of medical environment in Taiwan, people have taken more and more medications to hope for improving their health. However, except for the well-known drug-drug interactions, there are foods that may cause food-drug interactions in our daily diet as well. Such interactions may not only reduce the pharmaceutical effects, but also cause serious damage to drag takers' health. Hence, how to prevent adverse drug-food interaction becomes an important and urgent work. The aims of this study are: (1) Investigate published drug-food interaction literatures. (2) Build the drug-food interaction database based on the food classification format published by the Department of Health (DOH) of Taiwan. (3) Create an easy-to-use web interface to query the database. (4) Create the short message service (SMS) query for mobile situations. The system we created in this study could be queried in four ways including 'drug interactions of single food', 'foods may interact with multiple drugs', 'prescriptions check', and 'search via mobile phone SMS' for personal health management. This system was evaluated by analyzing clinical data from pharmaceuticals and hospitals in Taiwan to find the exact food-drug interaction rates of most used drugs. In conclusion this system could reduce drug-food interactions, so that to raise drug efficiency, and to improve medication users' safety concerns. |
