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].

Prevention

Resources about drug interactions

In detecting drug-drug interactions, the accuracy of software used by hospital pharmacies range from:[6][7]

In detecting drug-drug interactions, the accuracy of PDA-based software range from:[8]

List of resources

Medical order entry system

For more information, see: Medical order entry system.

Perhaps due to imperfect specificity of drug interaction resources, health care providers overide 49% to 96% of alerts.[9]
