Drug Interactions Flashcards
Modification of the effects of one drug (object drug)
by the prior or concomitant administration of another
(precipitant drug
DRUG INTERACTION
Object + Precipitant
DRUG INTERACTION
Early recognition or detection can prevent:
- Loss of therapeutic effect
- Unexpected increases in pharmacologic activity
- Toxicity
Aplastic Anemia, Asthma, Cardiac Arrythmia, Critical/ICU patients, Diabetes, Epilepsy, Hepatic Disease, Hypothyroidsim
High risk associated with SEVERITY of the disease state being treated
Autoimmune disorders, Cardiovascular Diseases,
GIT diseases, Infections, Psychiatric disorders, Respiratory disorders, Seizure disorders
High Risk Associated with Drug Interaction Potential of related therapy
DRUG INTERACTION MECHANISMS (In Vivo)
Pharmacokinetic
Pharmacodynamic
DRUG INTERACTION MECHANISMS (In Vitro)
Physicochemical (IV incompatibilities)
chemical or physical interactions that occur in vitro
PHARMACEUTICAL INTERACTIONS
aggregation, precipitation in solution, chemical deterioration or
decomposition
PHARMACEUTICAL INTERACTION
PHARMACEUTICAL INTERACTION:
Potassium phosphate and calcium chloride in total
parenteral nutrition preparations (TPN) may form ________________, which will result in a _________ in the intravenous fluid
bag
calcium
phosphate; precipitate
Drug disposition in the body
PHARMACOKINETICS
Effect of a drug on the
ADME of another drug
PHARMACOKINETICS
Seldom produces serious
clinical effects
PHARMACOKINETICS
Often associated with
changes in plasma drug
concentration and altered
clinical response
PHARMACOKINETICS
Most common Drug Interaction Mechanism
PHARMACOKINETICS
Related to the pharmacologic
activity of interacting drugs
PHARMACODYNAMICS
Amount of drug in blood
remains the same, but its effect
is altered
PHARMACODYNAMICS
Change in gastric pH (antacid, alcohol, and food)
Alteration of DRUG ABSORPTION
Changes in gastrointestinal motility/gastric
emptying time
DRUG ABSORPTION
Damaged gastrointestinal mucosa
DRUG ABSORPTION
Complexation and adsorption
DRUG ABSORPTION
Sodium Bicarbonate + Ketoconazole
ABSORPTION (Changes in gastric pH)
Sodium Bicarbonate + Ketoconazole
Object Drug:
Precipitant Drug:
Object Drug: Ketoconazole
Precipitant Drug: Sodium Bicarbonate
Cyclosporine + Metoclopramide
ABSORPTION (Changes in gastrointestinal motility or gastric emptying
time)
MANAGEMENT: Sodium Bicarbonate + Ketoconazole
Separation of doses by 2 or more hours
Cyclosporine + Metoclopramide
Object Drug:
Precipitant Drug:
Object Drug: Cyclosporine
Precipitant Drug: Metoclopramide
MANAGEMENT: Cyclosporine + Metoclopramide
Renal function, serum creatinine, and Cyclosporine levels should be
carefully monitored during concurrent therapy. Cyclosporine
dosage should be adjusted as needed. Patients should be advised
to notify their physician if they experience nausea, vomiting,
diarrhea, abdominal pain, dizziness, fatigue, or headache
Digoxin + Vincristine
Damaged gastrointestinal mucosa (Drug Induced) (ABSORPTION)
Digoxin + Vincristine
Object Drug:
Precipitant Drug:
Object Drug: Digoxin
Precipitant Drug: Vincristine (and other antineoplastic agents
