This document discusses drug interactions, which occur when one drug affects another drug's effectiveness or safety. It describes the main types of interactions: absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination. Absorption interactions can affect how quickly or how much of a drug is absorbed. Distribution interactions can change protein binding in the blood and alter tissue distribution. Metabolism interactions involve one drug inducing or inhibiting the enzymes that break down other drugs. Elimination interactions can change how drugs are removed from the body, usually through the kidneys or liver. Understanding these interaction mechanisms is important for predicting and avoiding negative outcomes when multiple drugs are taken together.
