DRUG INTERACTIONS (MECHANISMS OF DRUG-DRUG INTERACTIONS)N Anusha
A Drug interaction is an interaction between a drug and some other substance, such as another drug or a certain type of food, which leads to interaction that could manifest as an increase or decrease in the effectiveness or an adverse reaction or a totally new side effect that is not seen with either drug alone that can be severe enough to alter the clinical outcome.
Every time a drug is administered with any other prescription medicine, OTC products, herbs or even food we expose ourselves to the risk of a potentially dangerous interaction.
This document discusses factors that can modify drug action in patients. It describes how drug effects can be influenced by factors like race, genetics, environment, time, psychological state, pathological conditions, and pharmacological variables.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

2. Definition
Any noxious or unintended effect of drug which occurs at doses
normally used in man for prophylaxis, diagnosis and treatment of
disease
Any noxious change which is suspected to be due to a drug,
occurs at doses normally used in man, requires treatment or
decrease in dose or indicates caution in the future use of the
same drug.
3. Adverse drug event (ADE):
• Any untoward medical occurrence that may present
during treatment with a medicine, but which does not
necessarily have a causal relationship with the
treatment.
4. SEVERITY OF ADRs
Minor – no therapy, antidote or prolongation of hospitalization is
required
Moderate – requires change in drug therapy, specific treatment or
prolongs hospital stay by atleast one day
Severe – potentially life-threatening, causes permanent
damage or requires intensive medical treatment
Lethal – directly or indirectly contributes to death of the patient
5. Reasons
Medication errors-
Self medication - OTC drugs- over use or misuse of drug
Excess pharmacological action
Overprescribing drugs to patients- Potent medicaments
Inadequate monitoring of the patient-
Digitalis, diuretics, corticosteroids
Misused – adverse effects or death
Sudden withdrawal of drugs-
Steroidal drugs or hormones
Stopped by decreasing the dose
6. Difference in bioavailability-
Number of brands & formulations of same drugs available
Difference- Bioavailability
Formation of toxicity
Drug interactions-
Drug-drug interaction
Drug-food interaction
Inactivation or change in ADME
Use of potent drugs-
Narrow therapeutic index
Digoxin,Phenytoin, Cyclosporine, Carbamazepine
7. Patient Factors-

Intolerance
12. Type A (augmented) Type B (bizarre)
• Due to extension of
pharmacological
action
• Immunological/ genetic basis
• Predictable • Mostly not predictable
• Quantitative (dose dependent) • Qualitative (dose dependent)
• High incidence but low
mortality
• Low incidence but high
mortality
• Dose reduction is needed • Drugs has to be discontinued
• Examples: dryness of mouth & • Anaphylactic reaction due to
blurring of vision due to penicillin G; hemolysis with
atropine; hypoglycemia with primaquine
glibenclamide
13. Type Areactions
• Side effect
• Toxic effect and drug toxicity or poisoning
• Secondary effect
• Intolerance
14. SIDE EFFECTS
• Unwanted & unavoidable PD effects at therapeutic doses
• It may be same as therapeutic effect (atropine, GTN)
• It may be a different facet of action (promethazine, estrogen)
• May be therapeutic in one context but side effect in another
context (codeine)
• Discovery based on side effects (sulfonamides)
15. SECONDARY EFFECTS
• Indirect consequences of a primary action of a drug
• Examples : suppression of bacterial flora by tetracyclines leads to
superinfections
• Corticosteroids weaken host defence mechanisms so that latent
TB gets activated.
• At average dose of drug- several pharmacological effects
•Antihistaminic drugs- anti-allergic (skin rashes, cough & cold)-
can also cause Drowsiness, CNS depressant activity
16. TOXIC EFFECTS
• Result from excessive pharmacological action of the drug due to over
dosage (absolute/relative) or prolonged use.
• Manifestations are predictable & dose related
• Functional alteration (atropine), drug induced tissue damage
(paracetamol), extension of therapeutic effect (barbiturates, heparin),
additional action of a drug (morphine, streptomycin)
Most common cause of ADR
Dose- excessive
CNS depressants, cardiotonics, hypoglycemic agents
At average dose they can produce,
1. Kidney disease patients
2. Age of patients- Neonates, infants, elderly
17. POISONING
• Poisoning - harmful effects of a chemical on biological system
• Result from large doses (it is the dose which distinguishes a drug
from a poison)
• Management protocol
18. INTOLERANCE
• It is the appearance of characteristic toxic effects of a drug in an
individual at therapeutic doses.
• Indicates low threshold of the individual to the action of the drug
• Eg. Chloroquine (vomiting & abdominal pain), triflupromazine
(muscular dystonias), carbamazepine (ataxia)
19. Type B reactions
• Drug allergy / allergic reactions
• Idiosyncratic reactions (pharmacogenomics)
Hypersensitivity
Allergy-
Adverse response to foreign substances resulting from previous
exposure to that substance
Small proportion of population
Features-
Not expected pharmacological effect
Time interval- initial exposure to drug & development of allergy
Reoccurs- small quantity of drug
20. IDIOSYNCRASY
• Genetically determined abnormal reaction to a chemical
• total absence or reduced activity of some enzyme ( eg. G6PD
deficiency – primaquine, salicylates, sulfonamides - hemolysis
• Examples: barbiturates (excitement & mental confusion),
chloramphenicol (aplastic anemia)
21. Idiosyncracy
Effect Drug
Aplastic anemia Chloramphenicol
Uterine cancer Oestrogens
Kidney cancer
Pelvis cancer
Analgesic induced nephropathy
Asthma Quinidine
Excitement & mental confusion Barbiturates
Phocomelia Thalidomide
25. TYPE C REACTIONS
• Drug dependence
• Organ damage
• Cumulative toxicity
• Immunosuppression
26. DRUG DEPENDENCE
• Drugs for personal satisfaction is accorded a
higher priority than other basic needs, oftenin
the face of known risks tohealth.
• Psychological (reinforcement) &
physical dependence
• Drug abuse, addiction &habituation
27. • Psychological –individual believes that optimal
state of well being is achieved only through
action of drug (emotionally distressed if drugis
not taken – compulsive drug use)
• Physical –altered physiological state produced
by repeated administration of a drug,
necessitates continuous presence of drug to
maintain physiological equilibrium
(discontinuation –
withdrawal syndrome) –
neuroadaptation
28. • Drug abuse –use of a drug by self medication
(deviates from the approved medical and
social pattern) –
continuous, occasional
• Drug addiction – compulsive drug
use/ overwhelming involvement,
• Drug habituation – less intense involvement
with drug, withdrawal produces only mild
discomfort
30. MUTAGENICITY & CARCINOGENICITY
• Drug cause genetic defects and cancer respectively.
• Oxidation of drug - produce reactive intermediates – affect genes
and cause structural changes in chromosomes – covalent
interaction with DNA – induce mutations.
31. TERATOGENICITY
• Fetal abnormalities when given to pregnant mothers
• Affect fetus at 3 stages:
1. Fertilization & implantation – conception to 17days – failure
2. Organogenesis – 18 to 55 days – most vulnerable (deformities)
3. Growth & development – 56 days onwards – developmental &
functional abnormalities.
32. Teratogenicity –
Teratos – monster, genicity - generation
Somatic cells of embryo- defects in organ system
Teratogen - drugs- abnormalities in the development of embryo that are
compatible with pre-natal life
Observable post- natally
Dose- lower
Foetal hepatic enzymes function- minimum
33. DRUG EFFECT
Thalidomide Phocomelia, heart defects, gut atresia
Warfarin Saddle nose, retarded growth, defects of limbs, eyes
and CNS
Corticosteroids Cleft palate and congenital cataract
Androgens Masculinisation in female
Oestrogens Testicular atrophy in males
Ethanol Fetal alcohol syndrome
Valproate Neural tube defects
Phenytoin Cleft lip/palate, microcephaly, mental retardation
Aminoglycosides Deafness
36. TYPE E (withdrawal reaction)
• Acute adrenal insufficiency – corticosteroids
• Rebound hypertension – clonidine
• Worsening of angina pectoris –beta blockers
• Seizures – antiepileptics
Continuous use of drugs- tolerance
Sudden withdrawal- produce severe adverse effects
Rebound hypertension- withdrawal of hypotensive drugs
Increase in frequency of seizures- withdrawal of an antiepileptic
37. PHOTOSENSITIVITY
• Cutaneous reaction resulting from druginduced
sensitization of the skin to UVradiation
• phototoxic (tetracyclines, nalidixic acid,
fluoroquinolones) - short wavelengths (290-320nm)
–
shorter duration after exposure ends
• photoallergic (sulfonamides, sulfonylureas,
chloroquine) –longer wavelengths (320-400nm) –
persist long after exposure –lesion extend
beyond exposed areas.

use, reduction in drug-related harm to patients, rationale
use of medicines.
46. Activities involved in pharmacovigilance
• Post marketing surveillance & other methods of ADR
monitoring
• Dissemination of ADR data – drug alerts, medical
letters, advisories sent by FDA
• Changes in labelling of medications
47. Governing bodies of
Pharmacovigilance
• Uppsala Monitoring Committee (Sweden) – international
collaborating centre
• Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) – India
• Assess causality (Naranjo algorithm) and severity (modified
Hartwig scale
