Except, of course,

1) if you don't have one just yet
        (never wrote a prescription for that patient yet)

2) if you do not want to re-edit a prescription but rather
   want to check a selected range of drugs for interactions


        EXCEPT THAT THE LATTER IS NOT POSSIBLE ANYMORE
        WITH THE FLOSS FreeDiams SOFTWARE.

I agree, a good idea. Except that it does loose information:
it does not show the name (or *old* ID) of the undetected drug.
