Constant alerts with incorrect medication information— anything I can do to cut down on this?

I tried asking the clinical works helpdesk, but I have not found a solution to this.

I’m having a lot of problems with multiple alerts informing me of incorrect drug interactions and drug relationships.  I’m constantly having to close these boxes.  Do I have any options to stop these alerts completely?  Or at least get them corrected so they are accurate?

For example, today when I tried to prescribe folic acid I got the following message:

Folic acid belongs to the same family of Adderall, Advair HFA, methotrexate, prednisone, albuterol sulfate HFA which is already on the list.  Do still want to prescribe folic acid?

I am a rheumatologist so I prescribe folic acid 20 times a day.  Not only that but I get constant reminders that vitamin B12 is in the same family of drugs as prednisone (which of course it isn’t). Constant alerts with incorrect information. I am so tired!

Any advice?
