  • Method of inferring a health condition based on a prescription filled for a patient and blocking a subsequent sale of a drug contraindicated for the health condition
    Patent number: 8170890
    Abstract: A system and method for inferring a possible pregnancy based on a first filled prescription and blocking the sale of a second prescription for a drug contraindicated for pregnancy is disclosed. First prescription information may be received and a possible pregnancy of the patient may be inferred. An association of the inferred possible pregnancy and the patient may be retained for a given length of time. When second prescription information is received, a check for the association may be made. If an association exists, the filling and the sale of the second prescription may be blocked. The block of the sale of the second prescription may be overridden.
