- Description: In this paper we develop an optimization approach for the study of Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR) problems. This approach is based on drug-reaction relationships represented in the form of a vector weights, which can be defined as a solution to some global optimization problem. Although it can be used for solving many ADR problems, we concentrate on the problem of accurate identification of drugs that are responsible for reactions that have occurred. Based on drug-reaction relationships, we formulate this problem as an optimization problem. The approach is applied to Australian Adverse Drug Reaction Advisory Committee (ADRAC) database. We take a comprehensive approach to considering all reaction classes which combines 18 SOC (System Organ Class), as well as the sub-classes of reaction classes Blood, Body, Neurological and Cardiovascular. The numerical experiments provided high accuracy in prediction of suspected drugs reported in ADRAC database.

- Description: Drug-drug interaction is one of the important problems of Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR). In this paper we develop an optimization approach for the study of this problem. This approach is based on drug-reaction relationships represented in the form of a vector of weights, which can be defined as a solution to some global optimization problem. Although this approach can be used for solving many ADR problems, we concentrate here only on drug-drug interactions. Based on drug-reaction relationships, we formulate this problem as an optimization problem. The approach is applied to different classes of reactions from the Australian Adverse Drug Reaction Advisory Committee (ADRAC) database.
