How to Use the Medication History Module in DentalRx

The Medical History module is an essential resource for dental professionals, allowing them to quickly and efficiently access key information about various drugs, right at the point of care.

A Clinical Pharmacy App for Dentists

With the vast array of medications available today, keeping track of drug interactions, side effects, and contraindications can be challenging. This is particularly true in dentistry, where professionals often encounter patients on multiple medications. Understanding these medications is crucial for safe and effective dental treatment.

The Medical History module in DentalRx assists dental professionals by providing immediate access to crucial drug information. It serves several key functions:

1. Avoiding Adverse Drug Interactions: The application allows dentists to quickly check if the medications a patient is currently taking could adversely interact with drugs commonly used in dental procedures, such as local anesthetics or antibiotics.

2. Identifying Potential Interventions: Dentists can use the application to check if a patient may need an interprofessional consultation before their dental treatment.

3. Educating Patients: The tool can also be used to educate patients about their medications, fostering a better understanding and encouraging adherence to prescribed treatments.
