Thanks for your input ! Basically, what we will do next is to check
whether the patient is allergic (drugs or other type of allergens ).
Very generic, yet, very effective initial measure.

If that's the case, then pop up a warning message (like "WARNING :
PATIENT WITH HISTORY OF ALLERGIC REACTIONS !") .
Doing this initial general approach, if the patient is allergic to
penicillin, they will also get a warning if cephalosporins are to be
prescribed, so we are happy.

This fits the KISS (Simple and Safe) concept.

Suggestions are most welcome !

Best
