Study Notes
Drug Interactions
- Antagonist drugs can be used to reverse the effect of another drug at receptor sites.
Types of Interactions
- Competitive inhibition is a type of drug interaction that involves competition for specific receptor sites.
Antagonistic Reactions
- An example of an antagonistic reaction is when one drug blocks the effect of another drug at the receptor site.
Pharmacodynamic Interactions
- When two drugs with similar pharmacological effects are given together, their effects can be additive or synergistic.
- Pharmacodynamic interactions involve the interactions between drugs that affect the physiological response to the drug.
Test your knowledge of pharmacodynamic interactions, including drug-drug and drug-food interactions, and how they affect the effects of drugs at their site of action. Explore the complexities of antagonistic reactions and interference with physiological systems.
