What I am saying is if you have

        Asthma
                beclomethasone
                salmeterol
        Atrial fibrillation, paroxysmal
                verapamil
        Depression
                citalopram
        Gout
                allopurinol
        Hypertension
                diltiazem
                ramipril
        Thrombophilia
                warfarin

you less easily see the duplication compared to sort by drug

        C08DA01 verapamil
        C08DB01 diltiazem

which could help you catch that this could be risky.
