Drug Interaction Checker
Advanced medication safety tool that identifies potential drug-drug interactions with clinical significance ratings, mechanisms, and evidence-based management recommendations.
⚠️ Understanding Drug Interactions
Drug interactions occur when one medication affects the activity of another, potentially leading to reduced effectiveness, increased side effects, or toxicity. Our interaction checker analyzes pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic interactions with clinical relevance.
Interaction Types
- Pharmacokinetic: Altered absorption, distribution, metabolism, or elimination
- Pharmacodynamic: Additive, synergistic, or antagonistic effects
- Absorption Interactions: Changes in drug bioavailability
- Metabolism Interactions: CYP enzyme inhibition/induction
- Transport Interactions: P-glycoprotein and other transporters
Severity Classification
- Major: Potentially life-threatening, avoid combination
- Moderate: Monitor closely, consider alternatives
- Minor: Limited clinical significance
- Unknown: Insufficient data available
