Background:
Identifying drug-drug interactions (DDIs) in dermatology can be cumbersome and time-consuming using traditional methods.
Objectives:
To explore the potential of ChatGPT-4o, an artificial intelligence (AI)-based chatbot, to streamline the identification process.
Methods:
ChatGPT-4o was tasked with assessing DDIs among commonly prescribed dermatological medications. The accuracy and reliability of the chatbot's outputs were compared against established references for 43 interactions.
Results:
ChatGPT-4o successfully identified all evaluated interactions. It accurately described the interaction effects in 42 cases, with only one example of misdescription.
Conclusions:
The findings highlight the potential of ChatGPT to serve as an effective and efficient alternative for identifying and understanding DDIs in dermatology, despite one noted error that emphasizes the need for ongoing verification against trusted references. Further research is needed to validate its use across a broader range of medications and clinical scenarios.
