Overview

Drug interactions occur when the effect of one drug is altered by the concurrent presence of another drug, food, supplement, or disease state, producing changes in efficacy or toxicity. They are classified as pharmacokinetic, when one agent modifies the absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of another, often through cytochrome P450 enzymes or transporters, or pharmacodynamic, when agents act additively, synergistically, or antagonistically at a shared target or pathway. Recognizing and managing interactions through medication review, decision support, and pharmacogenetic awareness is essential to safe prescribing, particularly with polypharmacy. Research relevant to this area includes quality assessment in anti-ulcer drug markets, medication-plan use as a quality indicator, the move from personalized medication toward customized nutrition, genetic polymorphisms in epilepsy pharmacotherapy, multi-drug antiretroviral regimens for HIV management, herb-drug combinations in diabetes, prescribing and dispensing practices under WHO core indicators, computer-aided drug design, and clinical decision-support systems for analgesic dosing. The journal publishes peer-reviewed work, grouped here under drug-resistant pathogen research and clinical pharmacology, addressing the mechanisms, identification, and clinical management of drug interactions, connecting pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic principles, prescribing practice, and pharmacogenetics to the optimization of medication safety and effectiveness.
