Create Multiple Custom Drug-Drug Interactions from a Single FDB Record

You can create multiple VA Custom Drug-Drug Interactions (DDIs) from one corresponding FDB Record. If you open an FDB DDI record on the Advanced Query/Customization page, the DDI Detail page will open. If there are any VA custom records for this FDB DDI, you’ll see a message stating that “The following VA custom record(s) already exist for this FDB Drug-Drug Interaction,” and a table and a link to any interaction(s) display.

From here, you can create another custom record if you wish. Checks exist in the system so that the same user cannot make duplicate DDIs or another user cannot come in and make the same DDI that another user just made.

Create Multiple Custom DDIs From a Single FDB Record

  1. Log on and go to the Advanced Query/Customization tab.
  2. Choose Drug-Drug Interaction for the Concept.
  3. Select FDB Records.
  4. Build the query as follows: Fields=Interaction ID; Filter=Contains; Value= for user guide purposes, let’s say 2105.
  5. Click Query.
  6. Open Interaction ID 2105 from the list that displays.
  7. Click Edit.
  8. Customize the record by changing one or more details and click Save.
  9. Your new record is created. The record ID is displayed on the Interaction ID field. If you have any duplicates, you will see a warning message (such as an identical interaction severity):

You cannot add a drug pair that currently exists for the selected DDI.

Drug Pair Already Exists Error

You will also receive an error if you attempt to customize a drug pair for a DDI in Reverse Order.
