Everything from MIMS, inside your workflow

The same authoritative drug data Australian pharmacists reference every day — now accessible without leaving your review.

Drug Interaction Checker

Live — available now

Check your patient's full medication list for interactions in seconds. Add medications from any combination of manual search, clinical report extraction, or uploaded patient documents — then run a comprehensive interaction screen against the MIMS database.

  • Severity ratings: Severe, Moderate, Minor, Caution
  • Documentation level: Well Established, Probable, Theoretical, Possible
  • Interaction observation and clinical precaution text
  • Full description with journal and reference citations
  • Active and ceased medication tracking

MIMS Product Information

Full PI sheets on demand

Access the complete MIMS Product Information sheet for any medication — the same document pharmacists and prescribers reference for clinical monograph information. Searchable by brand name or active ingredient, with automatic form prioritisation.

  • Brand name and generic/active ingredient
  • Dosage form, route of administration, and strength
  • Clinical particulars — indications, contraindications, warnings
  • Pharmacological properties and mechanism of action
  • Precautions for use and special warnings
  • Pregnancy and lactation information highlighted
Adding Medications

Three ways to build your medication list

However your patient information arrives, Markoste can work with it.

01

Manual Search

Type any medication name — brand or generic — and Markoste searches the MIMS database in real time. Results include dosage forms, strengths, and routes of administration. A two-pass search automatically retries with the stripped active ingredient if no match is found on the first attempt.

Supports brand and generic names. Automatically normalises to active ingredient for consistent matching.

02

Load from Report

After Markoste Scribe generates your clinical summary, click Load from Report to automatically extract the medication list and populate the interaction checker. Medications are pulled directly from the structured clinical text — no re-entry required.

Falls back to keyword parsing if extraction is uncertain. You review and confirm before the interaction screen runs.

03

Load from Documents

Upload a patient medication list — a referring letter, discharge summary, or existing medication chart — and Markoste extracts the medications automatically. Supports a range of document formats and preserves ceased vs. active medication status.

Ceased medications are tracked separately and shown with a CEASED indicator. Both are available for interaction review.

Interaction Results

Every interaction rated, cited, and explained

MIMS interaction results surface what you need for clinical decision-making — not just a flag, but the full clinical picture.

Severe

Life-threatening or may cause permanent damage. Medical intervention required.

Moderate

May deteriorate the patient's condition. Monitoring and therapy change may be needed.

Minor

Limited clinical effects. Patient monitoring is recommended.

Caution

May occur based on the mechanism of the drugs involved. Be alert for effects.

Severity & Documentation Level

Each interaction is rated by severity (Severe through Caution) and documentation quality (Well Established, Probable, Theoretical, or Possible) — so you can weigh the clinical significance and how well the evidence supports the flag.

Observation & Precaution

Clear clinical text describes what is observed when the interaction occurs and what precaution applies — the specific monitoring, dose adjustment, or management step relevant to that drug pair.

Full Description

A detailed interaction description explains the pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic mechanism. Supporting journal citations, web references, and book sources are listed for each interaction.

Drug Pair Details

The interacting drug pair is shown with molecule names, dosage forms, and routes of administration — making it clear which specific formulations of each drug are in scope for the interaction.

Ceased Medication Tracking

Medications marked as ceased are shown with a CEASED indicator and remain available for interaction checking. Checking against ceased medications matters when assessing recent deprescribing or washout periods.

Pharmacist Review Required

Interaction flags are clinical prompts for pharmacist review. They do not replace professional judgment — they ensure you have the full MIMS picture so your judgment is as informed as possible.

Product Information Sheets

Connected to Your Workflow

Interaction checker and Dose Checker share your medication list.

When you add or remove a medication in the interaction checker, the Dose Checker updates automatically — and vice versa. One medication list. Two clinical tools. No duplication.

This means you can move between checking interactions across the whole patient list and pulling up the full MIMS Product Information sheet for a specific medication — in the same session, with the same data, without re-entering anything.

Interaction Checker

Full medication list screened against MIMS interactions in one step

Bidirectional Sync

One shared medication list — changes in either tool update the other

Dose Checker / PI Sheets

Australian data residency  ·  All clinical decisions remain with the reviewing pharmacist

Professional responsibility: All interaction and drug information results require pharmacist review and professional judgment. Markoste is designed to support — not replace — clinical decision-making by registered pharmacists. Final responsibility for medication safety rests with the reviewing healthcare professional.
