How do I create a Django view to check for drug interactions based on user input?

The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.

I'm building a Django application that checks for potential interactions between drugs entered by the user.

My interface includes an HTML form where users can add drugs and click a button to see results. If interactions are found, the results should be highlighted (e.g., with red flag text).

I have defined a model for storing interactions as follows:

PYTHON
class Interaction(models.Model):
    drug1 = models.CharField(max_length=100,null=True, blank=True)#alternatives
    drug2 = models.CharField(max_length=1500,null=True, blank=True)
    interaction = models.CharField(max_length=1300,null=True, blank=True)
    note = models.CharField(max_length=1000,null=True, blank=True)

The HTML template is structured like this:

HTML
<body>
    <div id="app">
        <h1 class="text-center my-5">Drug-Drug Interactions Tool</h1>
        <h5 class="text-center">Added Drugs:&nbsp</h5>
        <p id="drugCollection" class="text-center">No drugs added yet</p>
        <div class="container">
            <div class="form-row">
                <div class="input-group input-group-lg col-md-3 mx-auto">
                    <input class="form-control" type="text" placeholder="Enter medication here" id="txtMedication" onkeydown="keypress()">
                </div>
            </div>
            <div class="col text-center">
                <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary my-2" onclick="addMedication()" >Add drug</button>
            </div>
            <div class="col text-center">
                <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary my-2" onclick="submitMediactions()">See the Result</button>
            </div>
        </div>

        {% if interactions is defined %}
        <div class="col text-center">
            <h2 class="mt-5">Results:</h2>
            {% if interactions|length != 0 %}
            {% for interaction in interactions %}
            <hr>
            <p><b>{{interaction.object}}</b> and <b>{{interaction.precipitant}}</b>{% if interaction.description|length != 0 %}: {{interaction.description}}{% endif %}</p>
            {% endfor %}
            {% else %}
            <p>No Interactions could be found.</p>
            {% endif %}

        </div>
        {% endif %}

        <div></div>
      </div>
</body>
{% endblock %}

The client-side JavaScript managing the drug inputs is as follows:

JAVASCRIPT
var medications = []

function keypress(){
    if(event.key === 'Enter'){
        addMedication()
    }
}
function addMedication(){
    textBoxVal = document.getElementById('txtMedication').value;
    if(textBoxVal != ""){
        medications.push(textBoxVal);
        document.getElementById('drugCollection').innerHTML = medications;
        document.getElementById('txtMedication').value = ""
        console.log("Medication added:", textBoxVal);
    }
}
function submitMediactions(){
    window.location.href =  "/?medications=" + medications.toString();  //'/indexnterctiondrug'
}

I need help constructing a Django view that processes the medications passed (e.g., via GET parameters) and returns the HTML template with the appropriate interaction results. What is the best approach to implement this view?
