Interacto is a cutting-edge web service and application for Pharmacy Information Systems. It integrates national and international data sources and information on drugs used in Turkey and over-the-counter herbal products into a unified platform.

Interacto is a reliable source of information regarding all types of drugs and over-the-counter products available for purchase in Turkey. It provides a wide range of information, including basic drug information, images of packaging, coverage of drugs by the Social Security Institution, patient payment differences, literature-based interactions, incompatibility communication, and other data provided by other Pharmacy Information System providers. With Interacto, you can easily access dosage information, SPC/DIU (Summary of Product Characteristics/Drug Instructions for Use) documents, and active ingredient details.

Interacto goes beyond basic expectations by providing the following features:

(i) Comparative interaction and incompatibility information based on SPC/DIU (Summary of Product Characteristics/Drug Instructions for Use).

(ii) Interaction management.

(iii) Information on drug adverse effects based on real cases.

(iv) Comparative indication information based on SPC/DIU.

(v) Alternative drugs that can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

(vi) Recommendations for a narrower spectrum antibiogram that can provide the same effect.

(vii) Laboratory tests to be performed on the patient with Health Application Communiqué service codes. This will enable access to the relationship between the medication the patient uses.

The main goal of Interacto is to provide users with information on interactions and support information technologies for managing interactions. A critical factor in interaction management is the half-life, which can vary depending on the SPC/DIU (Summary of Product Characteristics/Drug Instructions for Use) and literature, just like interactions. It is crucial to know which drugs should be used and how long before the other if a doctor prescribes interacting drugs to a patient.
