[What do health professionals ask RELIS Vest service and how satisfied are they with the answers?].
RELIS Vest provides drug information by answering questions from mainly physicians and pharmacists. In the present paper we evaluated this service. All questions to RELIS Vest during the 1995-98 period were systematically categorized and analysed. The quality of the service was assessed by evaluation forms. Of a total of 875 queries, 393 came from physicians and 370 from pharmacists. 42% were about psychoactive drugs; the most frequent types of queries concerned documentation and adverse effects. Analysis of 180 evaluation forms showed that 79% of the physicians and 56% of the pharmacists found the answers fast enough, relevant, adequately comprehensive and with valuable references while 16% of the physicians and 29% of the pharmacists found that the answers satisfied three of these four criteria. We conclude that problem-oriented drug information based on actual cases of prescribing is highly appreciated.

[Interaction between sumatriptan and selective serotonin uptake inhibitors].
Migraine is common among patients who suffer from depression, and this category of patients often needs drug treatment for both diseases. A pharmacist consulted the Regional Drug Information Centre in the western part of Norway (RELIS 3) about the combined use of sumatriptan and fluoxetine, as the product information on sumatriptan warns of a possible interaction between these drugs. This possibility was evaluated by the Drug Information Centre, and it was concluded that the combination of sumatriptan and a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor is not contraindicated. This conclusion was based on both theoretical and clinical considerations.
