Drug-drug Interactions

Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) are when two or more drugs interact with each other in a potentially harmful manner. This can lead to serious health risks such as increased side effects, decreased efficacy, and other adverse health events. DDIs are an important safety consideration when prescribing multiple medications, and they should be considered when taking over-the-counter medications and dietary supplements as well. Healthcare providers should consider the potential for DDIs when prescribing drugs, and patients should be aware of any potential interactions with the medications they are taking.
