The advantage of Kiberis is its versatility, thanks to which it is able to select analogues for any drugs.
Artificial intelligence analyzes indications, contraindications, components, pharmacological groups, as well as information on the practical use of drugs, and displays the best replacements with the degree of similarity as a percentage.
Complete analogues of drugs are not always available, and their use is not always possible due to the presence of dangerous drug interactions. Therefore, we have to use simply similar drugs, sometimes even from different pharmacological groups.
