They check the safety of  an individual’s medications, taking into account the specific illness and possible drug interactions. They monitor information from the Food and Drug Administration, pharmaceutical companies, and peer reviewed journals and will send an email if relevant safety findings surface. The alerts contain a summery of the safety updates, an explanation of the update, and an electronic link for more information.
