This handbook offers a quick guide to possible adverse effects
of drug interactions, with brief recommendations for precaution-
ary measures. References are given to original reports that
provide more complete discussions of each interaction.
This book— lists adverse drug interactions, their mechanisms,
and recommendations for clinical management. These listings
are usually based on clinical reports.
Reports of interactions between more than two drugs are
appearing in the medical literature with increasing frequency.
Where these have been documented, they are noted as
comments under interacting pairs of drugs. Interactions listed
for groups of drugs (such as “cephalosporins” or “antidepres-
sants, tricyclic”) may not have been reported for every drug in
the group; known exceptions to the interaction are noted.
It is not possible to determine the frequency of most interac-
tions. When an interaction is documented by one or two case
reports rather than by clinical studies or reports in many
patients, the year of each report is given as some indication of
frequency.
Omissions—New adverse interactions are continually being
reported; the absence of a listing in this digital book does not
necessarily mean that drugs will not interact when given
concurrently. Drugs for which we have no documented
interactions in people are usually not listed; interactions
extrapolated from animal studies or interactions reported
with related drugs, frequently mentioned in other sources,
such as the manufacturer’s package insert, may therefore
not be included here.
Interactions between general anesthetics and drugs likely to be
administered during surgery, such as autonomic drugs and

local anesthetics, are not included here. Interactions useful in
therapy, such as increased plasma concentration of penicillin
with concurrent use of probenecid, are also not included.
Common additive effects, such as occur with use of two
antihypertensive agents or two central nervous system
depressants, are generally not listed. Effects expected from the
mechanism of a drug’s action, such as that of potassium on
digitalis glycosides or calcium on calcium-entry blockers, and
useful antagonist effects, such as that between a poison and an
antidote, are also not included. Most interactions of drugs with
foods, beverages, or other nutrients are not listed, but foods
interacting with monoamine oxidase inhibitors are included.
Mechanisms of Interaction—Genetic differences can affect
drug metabolism and interactions. Drugs can interact by
changing the metabolism of other drugs, either through
inhibition or induction of any of several hepatic enzyme
activities or through alterations in hepatic blood flow; by altering
the binding of other drugs to plasma proteins or tissue
receptors; by altering the distribution of drugs to active receptor
sites; by delaying or enhancing excretion; or by causing additive
or synergistic effects.
Recommendations—Monitoring is most important when one of
the interacting drugs is stopped or started. Some experienced
clinicians may prefer to monitor the patient’s clinical status
rather than follow serum concentrations of drugs. Concurrent
use of drugs from the same group, e.g., aspirin and other
NSAIDS, should be avoided.
