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][8]
In detecting drug-drug interactions, the accuracy of PDA-based software range from:[9]
- Sensitivity 84% to 100%
- Specificity 68% to 95%
List of resources
The concordance between alerts generated by major resources is low.[10]
- First Databank's Evaluations of Drug Interactions
- Facts & Comparisons®
- MicroMedex's DRUG-REAX
- http://www.gsm.com
- http://www.epocrates.com
- Centers for Education & Research on Therapeutics (CERTs). These are sponsored in the United States by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
- http://drug-interactions.com - Cytochrome P-450
- http://www.arizonacert.org - QT interval prolongation
- http://www.hit-cert.org/ - role of information technology
Medical order entry system
Perhaps due to imperfect specificity of drug interaction resources, health care providers overide 49% to 96% of alerts.[11]
Efforts are being made to improve drug safety alerts by structuring[12] and tiering[13] information.
