TL;DR
Prescriptions dispensed by the same pharmacies accounted for a far higher proportion of contraindicated medication pairs than prescriptions from the same physicians, and the pharmacy may be an important and underutilized intervention point to prevent contrainDicated drugs from being used together.
Abstract
Prescriptions dispensed by the same pharmacies accounted for a far higher proportion of contraindicated medication pairs than prescriptions from the same physicians. The pharmacy may be an important and underutilized intervention point to prevent contraindicated drugs from being used together.

To the Editor: From September 1993, the month in which the marketing of cisapride began, to April 1996, the Food and Drug Administration's MedWatch reporting program received reports of 34 patients in whom torsade de pointes developed and 23 in whom prolonged QT intervals developed while using this drug.

A review of 44 empirical studies indicates that different strategies to improve the prescription practices of primary care physicians have proved effective to varying degrees; administrative reminders and feedback systems appear to be suitable for group practices, while one-on-one educational interventions may work well in less-structured office settings.
JAMAContraindicated Use of Cisapride
255 Citations2000Walter Smalley, Deborah Shatin +8 more
The FDA's 1998 regulatory action regarding cisapride use had no material effect on contraindicated cisap Ride use and more effective ways to communicate new information about drug safety are needed.

The FDA risk management efforts did not achieve meaningful or sustained improvement in liver enzyme testing and Evaluation of the impact of regulatory actions is needed before such actions can be regarded as effective or sufficient.

How successful pharmacies are in detecting and correcting physician errors is examined, and concomitant use of terfenadine with drugs known to inhibit hepatic metabolism was a risk factor for ventricular arrhythmias, syncope, and cardiac arrest.

Despite substantial declines following reports of serious drug-drug interactions and changes in product labeling, concurrent use of terfenadine and contraindicated macrolide antibiotics and imidazole antifungals continues to occur.

Concomitant use of cisapride and clarithromycin may cause torsade de pointes arrhythmia, which eventually responded to therapy and did not have any recurring episodes during a 32-month follow-up.

An automated system running as a safety net can be an efficient method of detecting contraindicated drug combinations and serves an important role in the avoidance of potentially serious adverse drug events.
