About Contraindication

A contraindication is a condition or factor that will create a caution message or prevent the administering of a medication in REACH based on the potential harm that it may cause to a patient. 

...

When creating a medication in REACH you can create user defined contraindications that will generate caution alerts or prevention when administering a medication to a student.

Example 1     Panadol will contraindicate with itself if attempting to be administered < 4hrs apart.
Example 2     Paracetamol may contraindicate with some cold & cough mixtures which have Paracetamol as an ingredient.

...

Reach allows you to set contraindications that are only a warning message (Soft) or contraindications that prevent the medicating of a student (Hard).

Contraindication settings

Contraindications are generally a relationship between two medications however you can also use contraindications to manage minimum time intervals between dosages of a single medication.

A Contraindications message is triggered when the Contraindications Rule is triggered.  Relative contraindications can be set to deliver a caution message (soft restriction) whilst Absolute contraindications can be set to prevent a medication from being administered (hard restriction)....
