E-drug: Help wanted: drug/drug interaction data  
---------------------------------------------

I am writing on behalf of a group of medicos who are developing open source  
software for a number of drug-related functions, including prescribing,  
drug information/formulary information and drug interactions. At this  
point they have what they need for the first two, but need a data-set of  
drug/drug interactions that is either in the public domain, or can be made  
available free of charge.

The intention is to produce a comprehensive suite of programs that can be  
made available free to users, with the invitation to contribute to their  
further development (as with other open source software).

Does anyone know a drug/drug interaction data-set that might be suitable.

Thanks
