Drug Interaction
Healthcare and Medical
A drug interaction is a change in how a medication acts in the body caused by concurrent use of another drug, food, or supplement, which can increase toxicity, reduce effectiveness, or produce unexpected side effects. Pharmacists, physicians, and nurses assess potential interactions when prescribing or dispensing medications to keep patients safe, often using clinical decision-support databases to flag risky combinations. Understanding interactions is a core competency in pharmacology and clinical pharmacy practice.
