(2021) Development of Anti-Polypharmacy Management Systemhttps://keffi.nsuk.edu.ng/handle/20.500.14448/5585The prevalence of adverse drug reactions, adverse drug effects, avoidable deaths, and other drug-related problems arising from multiple drug administration is a wake-up call to our medical practitioners and the world at large, hence prompt action is required to this effect. In this paper, a computerized web-based system called “Anti-Polypharmacy Module” (APM) is being proposed which is geared towards checking the menace of polypharmacy by highlighting its adverse effect and drug-drug interactions. The drug library which contains most of the required information will be used to accomplish this task. The application is designed to be a user-friendly one. The system methodology for this work is the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC). This system is implemented using Java-servlet (JSP), JQuery, and SQL as a collection of software development tools. It is also a web-based application hence HTML5 and CSS3 are carefully crafted together for maximum user-friendliness. Apache Maven and Tomcat 7 are deployed for the back-end server technology. For database query optimization, the basic rules are strictly followed as discussed in the methodology.enPolypharmacy, Paediatrician, Therapeutic, Morbidity, Mortality, Drug-bank DatabaseArticle
