Pharmaceutical interactions
These interactions are those in which ADME properties
of the object drug is altered by the precipitant and hence
such interactions are also called as ADME interactions”.
Pharmacokinetic Interactions
Are those in which the activity of the object drug at its
site of action is altered by the precipitant. Such interactions
may be direct or indirect..
Pharmacodynamic interactions:
Do You
Know?
30. Example Pharmaceutical Interaction
Diazepam + Infusion fluid
A significant interaction exists between
diazepam and infusion fluid containers
constructed of PVC plastics. This is attributed to
absorption of the drug into the PVC matrix
Heparin / Kanamycin+ Hydrocortisone
Inactivation of Heparin / kanamycin
31. Pharmacokinetic
the excretion pattern of the object drug is
altered.

METABOLIC INDUCTION
Corticosteroids,/ Oral Contraceptives,/Coumarins,/Phenytoin + (Anti- epileptic)
phenobarbitone/phenytoin/carbamazepine (CYP3A4) = Decreased Plasma Levels;
Decreased efficacy Of Object Drugs
Paracetamol + Isoniazid = Increase hepatotoxic activity
METABOLIC INHIBITION
Coumarins + Metranidazole/Phenyl Butazone = Increased Anti Coagulant Activity.
Alcohol + Disulphiram,/Metronidazole= Increased In Plasma Acetaldehyde Levels
GENETIC POLYMORPHISM
5mg dose of diazepam in SLOW CYP2C19 metabolizer = slow – more
sedation , extensive - anticipated
36. EXCRETION INTERACTIONS

2. Alteration of urine PH
3. Change in active secretions
Are these where the excretion pattern of the object drug is altered. Major
mechanisms of excretion interactions are :-
Elevated plasma levels of lithium
LITHIUM BICARBONATE + Thiazide diuretics(3)
Increased passive reabsorption of basic. increased risk of toxicity
AMPHETAMINE ANTACIDS +ACETAzZOLAMIDE (2)
Decreased renal clearance of lithium. Risk of toxicity
LITHIUM BICARBONATE + NSAIDS(1)
37. Pharmacodynamic
When effect of 1 drug prevent the
pharmacological action of another.
Thiazide + NSAID = decrease diuretic
activity (Na and water excretion reduce )
Metoclopramide + levodopa =
Exacerbate parkinsonian ataxia and
dyskinesia.
Pharmacological Antagonism
2 drugs with similar pharmacological action or
side effect are given together- produce an
additive effect.
ACE inhibitor + Spironolactone =
Hyperkalaemia
Non- reversible MAO (phenelzine) + SSRI
(sertraline) = Serotonin syndrome
