Protects Against False Negative Alerts.
Alchemy screens all ingredients of multi-compound products, such as prenatal vitamins and enteral products, and multiple-dose form products, such as Prevpak®, for interactions and allergies. Alchemy also screens for inactive ingredients during allergy checks, if the ingredient/substance class is flagged as an allergy marker. The result is fewer false negative alerts that can result in misguided and potentially unsafe drug therapy decisions.

Protects Against False Positive Alerts.
Alchemy suppresses false positive alerts by considering factors such as: route of administration, ingredients (versus class levels only), and accepted duplicate therapies. By preventing unnecessary warnings, we can help busy clinicians avoid lost productivity and dangerous alert fatigue.

Flags Interactions with Alcohol.
Some medications have serious interactions with alcohol. Alchemy can help to prevent such interactions by advising clinicians when alcohol appears as an active/inactive ingredient in medications within a patient’s drug therapy regimen.

Customizes Warning Labels.
Alchemy uses an intelligent system based on patient demographics to suppress inapplicable, unnecessary and potentially confusing warning labels. Labels can be omitted or replaced based on age, gender, or a combination of both.

Supplies Usual Daily Dose.
Data on usual daily dose helps the clinician to ensure the most efficient and effective delivery of the patient’s medication. Patients who have a positive experience with their medications are more likely to adhere to drug therapy and realize optimal health benefits.

An Enterprise-Wide Solution.
Alchemy is concisely written for the frontline clinician to enable rapid yet careful decision-making. When you deploy both Alchemy for decision support and our flagship product, Clinical Pharmacology, for reference, users benefit from a single source of congruent drug information and clinical alerts enterprise-wide.
