One of the issues in this thread I believe was how a pharmicist would have
an up to date list of the drugs the patient's GP was prescribing if he
dispenses OTC preparations, and conversely, how a GP would know what OTC
drugs the patient was taking. I am not sure from reading your mail how
Pharmed would help with this - or maybe I just missed the relevant portion
or maybe it doesn't address this problem. I can see it has other
attributes.
