drugbank_ddiCheck drug-drug interactions among a set of drugs. Returns curated interactions with severity, description, and management guidance. Accepts drug names or DrugBank IDs (comma-separated). Example: drugbank_ddi({ drugs: "warfarin, acetaminophen", _apiKey: "your-key" }) or drugbank_ddi({ drugs: "DB006…drugbank_drug_namesLook up a drug by name or product. Resolves a query string to matching DrugBank drugs/products and their DrugBank IDs. Example: drugbank_drug_names({ query: "lipitor", _apiKey: "your-key" })drugbank_drugStructured monograph (indication, MoA, dosing) for a drug. Returns indication, mechanism of action, dosages, and a summary of adverse effects for a single DrugBank drug. Example: drugbank_drug({ id: "DB00682", _apiKey: "your-key" })
