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]
- albumin
- α1-acid glycoprotein
- 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]
- Sensitivity 84% to 100%
- Specificity 68% to 95%
List of resources
Medical order entry system
Perhaps due to imperfect specificity of drug interaction resources, health care providers overide 49% to 96% of alerts.[9]
Efforts are being made to improve drug safety alerts.[10]
