In pharmacology, drug interactions are "the action of a drug that may affect the activity, metabolism, or toxicity of another drug."[1]

Mechanisms

Protein binding

These interactions are usually transient and mild until a new steady state is achieved.[2][3] These are mainly for drugs without much first-pass liver metabolism. The principle plasma proteins for drug binding are:[4]

  1. albumin
  2. α1-acid glycoprotein
  3. lipoproteins

Some drug interactions with warfarin are due to changes in protein binding.[4]

Cytochrome P450

Patients have abnormal metabolism by cytochrome P-450 due to either inheriting abnormal alleles or due to drug interactions. Tables are available to check for drug interactions due to cytochrome P-450 interactions.[5].

Gastrointestinal absorption

Medicines may change the biological availability of other medications via changes in absorption. Examples are

Renal clearance

Drugs may compete for renal excretion.[8]

Prevention

Resources about drug interactions

In detecting drug-drug interactions, the accuracy of software used by hospital pharmacies range from:[9][10]

In detecting drug-drug interactions, the accuracy of PDA-based software range from:[11]

Lower sensitivities have been reported using a different test collection of interactions.[12]

List of resources

The concordance between alerts generated by major resources is low.[13]

Medical order entry system

For more information, see: Medical order entry system.

Perhaps due to imperfect specificity and information of drug interaction resources, health care providers do not always find alerts to be useful[14] overide 49% to 96% of alerts.[15]

Efforts are being made to improve drug safety alerts by structuring[16] and tiering[17] information.
