Drug Interaction Types — main categories?
Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic.
Pharmacokinetic Mechanisms — influence?
Absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion.
Pharmacodynamic Mechanisms — effect?
Drug effects at receptor sites.
Drug Interaction Types — categories?
Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic.
Pharmacokinetic interaction — effect?
Alters drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion.
Pharmacodynamic interaction — effect?
Influences drugs' effects at action sites.
Enzyme induction — outcome?
Increases metabolism, reducing drug levels.
Enzyme inhibition — outcome?
Decreases metabolism, raising drug levels.
Protein binding displacement — consequence?
Increases active free drug levels.
Narrow therapeutic index — significance?
Increases risk of toxicity or failure.
