What Are the Common Types of Drug-Drug Interactions?
1. Pharmacodynamic Interactions: These occur when drugs affect the same physiological pathways, either enhancing or diminishing each other's effects. 2. Pharmacokinetic Interactions: These involve changes in the absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of one drug caused by another drug. 3. Synergistic Effects: When two drugs enhance each other's effects. 4. Antagonistic Effects: When one drug counteracts the effect of another.
