Example

# Drug interaction detection
fact: patient_takes(patient_A, warfarin).
fact: inhibits(fluconazole, CYP2C9).
fact: drug_metabolized_by(warfarin, CYP2C9).
fact: narrow_therapeutic(warfarin).

rule: adverse_interaction(Patient, Drug) :-
    patient_takes(Patient, Drug, _),
    drug_metabolized_by(Drug, Enzyme, _),
    inhibits(Inhibitor, Enzyme, _),
    patient_takes(Patient, Inhibitor, _),
    narrow_therapeutic(Drug, _, _).

query: adverse_interaction.
