The information available (i.e. book) on physicochemical changes observed in mixing injectable drugs is difficult to be applied to the practical situation. The major reason is the lack of information on more than 4 injectable drugs mixing. So, the pharmacy committee of University Hospital Medical Information Network (UMIN) has examined the computer system which could collect and retrieve the information about stability and compatibility of injectable drugs observed in the clinical setting for several years.
In September of 1999, the system based on the examination results of the UMIN pharmacy committee was developed in Kanazawa University Hospital, which could collect the detected episodes (i.e. decomposition, crystallization, color change) and retrieve the database via Internet. This system was planned to protect the personal data as much as possible and to input and retrieve the data easily.
