Around 63,000 people die each year due to mix-ups of similarly spelled or sounding drug names. The goal of this project is to reduce this number as much as possible. This program will encourage healthcare workers to make sure they have the correct prescription because it removes the need for them to spend time sifting through wordy articles and papers. If they're typing in the name of a drug that is commonly confused with another medication, the program outputs the purpose of both drugs so the doctor can see if their prescription matches up with the patient's illness. The code is simple, so it will be easily accessible and easy to maintain/upkeep.
