The best program that I know of is called: Drug Interactions Consultant  
(DI CONSUL). It is available from:

Professional Drug Systems Inc.  
530 Maryville Centre Dr., Suite 250  
St. Louis, Missouri 63141  
USA

However, it is very expensive-about US$1700.

--- Note from the moderator:  
For those with lower budgets: a much cheaper alternative (USD 75?)  
is the Drug Interaction Programme of the  
Medical Letter, 56 Hanison St., New Rochelle, NY 10801-6588, USA.  
Tel +1-914-2350500.  
I also have a second address: 1000 Mail Street, New Rochelle.  
Not sure which one is correct.

DIP runs under MS-DOS. I only have an old version (1995)  
but it is being updated annually, I believe.
