Add Drug Pairs Using Existing FDB Drug Pairs
Adding drug pairs to a customized drug-drug interaction record is typically
done for records that have been customized from existing FDB drug-drug
interaction records. See Add
Drug Pairs Using Routed Generic Drugs for information on adding drug
pairs to a drug-drug interaction customization that is not associated
with a corresponding FDB record.
- From the customized drug-drug interaction record, click Drug Pairs.

- Click the Edit button.
- In the Select Drug Pair(s) Source list, select Drug pairs from
corresponding FDB Interaction.
- To select a drug pair, click the check box next to the listed
drug pair. This process can be repeated as often as necessary
until all the appropriate drug pairs are selected.

- To select a range of drugs from the list, click the first item
in the range, then Shift+click (click while holding down the shift
key) the last item in the range. You can use the scroll bar on
the results list if the last item in the range is not immediately
visible. You can clear items within the range by clearing the
adjacent checkbox.

- To select a fixed number or all the FDB drug pairs in the list,
select the Select/Deselect Drug Pairs from Corresponding FDB Interaction
check box, then select the appropriate value. Note that processing
too many drug pairs at once can cause the system to become unresponsive.
Recommendation: do not select more than 200 drug pairs for processing
at one time. Click the Get Record Counts to see the number
of Drug Pairs FDB associates with the drug-drug interaction record.

- Add text to the Current Action Reason field.
- If you want to assign a specific PECS user to review the drug pairs,
select their User ID in the Assign To list. If you do not want to
specify a reviewer, select Unassigned.
- Click Customize to add the selected drug pairs to the customization;
select Cancel Edit to abandon your changes and return to the Drug
Pair Customization page.
NOTE: Assistive Technology users may experience some problems
with this page. An alternate Drug
Pair Customization (Section 508-Compliant) page has been provided.
