N2 - To prevent medical accidents caused by mix-up, the confirmation of usage should be the key to determining error. If a computerized order entry system for medicines shows information concerning therapeutic indications to doctors, they can subsequently avoid mix-ups of medicines such as the case in question. To investigate data which can be utilized for a database in such an entry system, we study the description patterns of the sentences in the dosage regimen portion of the SGML formatted package inserts data via a method based on the text mining technique. Based on this result, we also propose the data structure of dosage regimen information, which will be the basis of a drug information database to ensure safe usage.
