Abstract(s)
Many drug-related problems are caused by drug interactions (DIs) that result from the pharmacological influence of one drug on another when taken together. DIs may have beneficial and predictable effects, but may also cause undesirable results, such as treatment ineffectiveness or serious adverse effects. There are a number of available databases with information about DIs. Although the information they provide is not always consensual, it is a useful tool in analysing the occurrence of potential drug interactions (PDIs) and in preventing unwanted or even fatal consequences for patients.
