The problem is that with so many drugs currently on the U.S. pharmaceutical market, "it's practically impossible to test a new drug in combination with all other drugs, because just for one drug, that would be five thousand new experiments," said Marinka Zitnik, a postdoctoral fellow in computer science and lead author of a paper presented July 10 at the 2018 meeting of the International Society for Computational Biology.
[...] So Zitnik and associates created a network describing how the more than 19,000 proteins in our bodies interact with each other and how different drugs affect these proteins. Using more than 4 million known associations between drugs and side effects, the team then designed a method to identify patterns in how side effects arise, based on how drugs target different proteins, and also to infer patterns about drug-interaction side effects.

I'm too high to read the article, but my guess is that you just gotta keep at it, you know. But be sure to stay hydrated and get a rubber mouth guard or you'll grind your teeth down to stubs.
You are still welcome on my lawn.

If it's not AI-with-b(ol)locks-chain then it's not worth it, nobody is going to grant any money for it.
