This has always been the case, I gave a patient who had a severe peaniut allergy Naseptin, which contains arachis oil, when isoft soft ware had the allergy on the records. Luckily the patient always reads small print and knew that arachis was peanut oil. None of the systems have anything like this. One more failing of using the Multilex drug data base, which is obviously inputted by teenagers on a gap year who do not care that we have to re enter all the things they take off by accident and then re enter. I am sure there is a market for an improved drug dictionary. None of the feed back I have given, with extreme difficulty has reaped any improvement in their system. There should be an e mail address easily accessible, so clinicians can feed back their problems, then they could act on any which have frequent messages, but as I guess they have a monopoly, there is little prospect of any improvement I am afraid. ( The Naseptin problem occured 5-10 years ago and is still a problem) Karen
