Two different items that look close and even mean the same are really 2 PKs.
If the user doesn't know that the combination of those fields (which a PK usually is), then the user doesn't know what makes an item unique, and will be causing duplicate entries.

An overengineered solution; save a soundex of your item. If another is added, check if the soundex (or Levenshtein distance) of it is already there, and open a messagebox suggesting a similar item is already there (Google's "did you mean x?"). You can put these in a separate table.
