INTERCheck

INTERCheck is an advanced prescription support system developed by the Mario Negri IRCCS Pharmacological Research Institute to enhance drug prescribing practices for elderly patients. It evaluates medication appropriateness by integrating various geriatric pharmacology aspects including drug interaction databases, criteria for potentially inappropriate drugs (Beers, START/STOPP), anticholinergic load assessments, and dosage adjustments for renal impairment.

The extension provides clinicians with alerts on risks and benefits of therapies using validated algorithms like the GerontoNet ADR Risk Score, Naranjo algorithm for adverse drug event causality, and DIPS for interaction probability. Users can register to manage patient lists and analyze drug therapies comprehensively both through the extension and the web platform at www.intercheckweb.it. Designed to optimize geriatric pharmacotherapy, INTERCheck supports safer, evidence-based prescribing decisions.
