Drug Interactions
Michelle Ceresia, Caroline S. Zeind, John Fanikos, and Michael G. Carvalho
CORE PRINCIPLES
CHAPTER CASES
A drug interaction is either the result of pharmacokinetic changes of a drug or its metabolites owing to alteration in absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion or is the result of pharmacodynamic changes, impacting the effect or mechanism of action. There are several types of drug interactions. Although the classic interaction involves two drugs (drug–drug interaction or DDI), a drug interaction can involve the interaction of a drug with a nutrient, chemical, food, herbal, disease, or laboratory test.

of age, gender, race, and comorbidities, such as renal and hepatic insufficiency. Drugs that have a higher potential for an interaction are those with a narrow therapeutic index (NTI).

PHARMACOKINETIC CHANGES
Administration/absorption: Drug interactions resulting from alterations in absorption are caused by (a) changes in gastric pH, (b) formation of complexes in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, (c) changes in GI motility, and (d) modulation of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) intestinal absorption of drugs.

Distribution: Drug interactions resulting from displacement of drug bound to protein sites (eg, albumin), particularly with drugs with a high degree of plasma protein binding that are more likely to be displaced by a drug with greater affinity for the same binding site.
Case 3-1 (Question 2), Figure 3-1, Table 3-3
Metabolism: A common cause of clinically significant drug interactions during multiple drug therapy involves drug metabolism in which cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoenzymes play a significant role. Many drug interactions occur as a result of inhibition or induction of CYP enzymes.

interactions may occur during the elimination of drugs and their metabolites by the kidney as a result of competition at the level of active tubular secretion, interference with tubular transport, or during tubular reabsorption.
PHARMACODYNAMICS CHANGES
Pharmacodynamic interactions occur when the presence of one drug changes the effect of another drug without pharmacokinetic alterations. It may be owing to competition at the drug receptor level by indirect systems, involving interference with physiologic mechanisms, resulting in additive or synergistic interactions or antagonistic interactions.

RESOURCES AND EVIDENCE FOR CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT
Patient safety initiatives have expanded in efforts to improve the health care delivery system with medication error prevention as a high-priority area. Health care providers have become increasingly challenged on devising optimal approaches to managing drug interactions. A key challenge is that computerized drug interaction screening systems detect a large number of DDIs of questionable clinical significance. Expert groups have provided recommendations to improve the

usability of clinical decision support (CDS) alerts for managing drug interactions.
INTRODUCTION
Because health care professionals are committed to ensuring patient safety and preventing drug-related harm, it is important to understand drug interaction principles and how to apply drug interaction decision support tools to provide evidence-based clinical decisions. This chapter introduces the reader to general principles and concepts of drug interactions. Case studies are incorporated to illustrate the application of key concepts and to highlight the importance of understanding the mechanisms by which drugs interact and how it impacts the clinical assessment and management of drug therapy. Disease-specific chapters within this textbook will also apply drug interaction concepts and incorporate case studies relevant to disease management.
DEFINITION
Drug interactions can be broadly categorized as either pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic in nature.
1,2
Pharmacokinetic drug interactions involve absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, whereas pharmacodynamic interactions can be characterized into three subgroups: (a) direct effect at receptor function, (b) interference with a biologic or physiologic control process, and (c) additive or attenuated pharmacologic effect.
3
Another key area of consideration is the biologic variance in a given individual: genetics, age, disease, and the internal environmental factors (ie, the patient’s medications, dietary intake, and social habits such as smoking and alcohol consumption).

A drug–drug interaction (DDI) is defined “as a clinically meaningful alteration in the exposure and/or response to a drug (object drug) that has occurred as a result of the coadministration of another drug (precipitant drug).”
1–2,5,6
Drug interactions may have beneficial effects because some drug interactions are used to enhance therapeutic outcomes, whereas other interactions may have deleterious effects that result in serious toxicity or may inhibit the effects of a drug, leading to suboptimal therapeutic outcomes. Although the classic interaction involves two drugs (DDI), a drug interaction can involve the interaction of a drug with a nutrient, chemical, food, herbal, disease, or laboratory test.
7,8
A potential drug interaction is defined “as the occurrence in which two drugs that are known to interact are concurrently prescribed, regardless of whether adverse events occurred.”
8
In 2015, consensus recommendations for evaluating DDIs were published by an expert group that included definitions of relevant terminology for evaluation of DDI evidence.5 Table 3-1 highlights their recommendations for key terms of relevant terminology for evaluation of DDI evidence. (The reader is referred to the complete list of definitions agreed upon by this expert group that are provided in their supplementary publication.)5 They emphasize the importance of consistent use of relevant terminology for evaluation of DDI evidence. For example, a clinically relevant DDI is defined as one that is associated with either toxicity or loss of efficacy that warrants the attention of health care professionals.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has now provided guidance to evaluate DDIs as part of a company’s assessment of the drug’s benefits and risks during the drug development process.

Clinically relevant DDIs should be recognized at the time of drug approval, monitored after approval, and communicated in the package labeling. Studies will be completed to determine whether cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme- and transporter-mediated DDIs alter the pharmacokinetics of new drug or the pharmacokinetics of other drugs. Studies will also determine the clinical significance of the observed or expected DDIs and any appropriate management or prevention strategies. Because known agents will be used to determine whether a new medication is a victim or perpetrator of DDIs, clinicians can expect to see a list of common offending medications reported in the package labeling.
RISK FACTORS FOR DRUG INTERACTIONS
Some patient populations are more vulnerable to drug interactions because of age, gender, and comorbidities, such as renal and hepatic insufficiency. Polypharmacy, defined as the concomitant use of multiple drugs or the administration of more medications that are indicated clinically, is a leading cause of DDIs, resulting in higher rates of adverse events, higher drug costs, and medication nonadherence.
10–12
Elderly patients are at an increased risk of drug interactions given the rates of polypharmacy (estimated at 20%– 50%) in the older population, along with multiple comorbidities.
13–15
https://t.me/medicina_free
Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) have been observed two to three times more frequently in older persons and account for 5% to 17% of all hospital admissions.16 Age alone is a key risk factor in the elderly population as altered pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics may result in a slower intestinal transit time, diminished absorption capacity, decreased liver metabolism and renal excretion, and alterations in volemia and body fat distribution.
17,18
Within the older population, the frail elderly represents a subgroup in which comorbidities primarily account for the observed changes in pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties.13 When considering the impact of aging, it is important to differentiate the subgroup of fit elderly from that of the frail elderly, because those who are frail are at increased risk of death, institutionalization, and worsening disability.
13,19,20
A number of studies have shown that
females are at higher risk for drug interactions.
21–24
Further research is needed in this area to better understand gender differences with drug interactions.
21–24
The distribution of many drugs may be significantly altered because of marked increases in total body weight (TBW).25 Drugs that are lipophilic will have an increased volume of distribution. Patients who are obese and those who are malnourished will have altered levels of metabolizing enzymes, increasing their susceptibility to drug interactions.
16,26
Critically ill patients, those with poor nutritional status, and patients who are immunocompromised are at higher risk of drug interactions. Cigarette smoking can affect drug therapy by both pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic mechanisms. It can affect drug therapy by enzyme induction of CYP; enzymes induced by tobacco smoking may also increase the risk of cancer by enhancing metabolic activation of carcinogens.27 Drugs that have a higher potential for an interaction are ones with a narrow therapeutic index (NTI) because there are small differences between therapeutic and toxic doses. For example, lithium, a monovalent cation, is a drug with an NTI that is influenced by changes of serum sodium. Patients taking lithium and who are also receiving chronic treatment with thiazides are at risk of lithium toxicity because thiazides can cause a high excretion of sodium that may increase lithium reabsorption.

An individual’s genetic makeup determines their complement of metabolizing enzymes, and based on their genotype, patients may be classified as having a phenotype for ultrarapid metabolizer, extensive metabolizer, intermediate metabolizer, or poor metabolizer (refer to Chapter 4, Pharmacogenomics and Personalized Medicine).28 Individuals who use multiple providers and/or multiple pharmacies are more likely to have incomplete information available for both the providers and themselves; this impacts clinical decision­making and increases the likelihood that a drug interaction may go undetected. Individuals who self-prescribe and take over-the-counter (OTC) products (including dietary supplements, vitamins, minerals, and herbal agents) may not understand the potential risk for drug interactions. In addition, if they do not maintain a complete listing of OTC products for themselves and their providers, there is a greater likelihood for ADRs and drug interactions. Although disease-specific chapters in this textbook will provide a wide array of risk factors for drug interactions, Table 3-2 outlines examples of risk factors for drug interactions.

CASE 3-1
QUESTION 1: F.D. is a 79-year-old female patient who underwent a total hip
replacement at a large teaching hospital. The medical team plans to start F.D. on warfarin therapy for venous thromboembolism prophylaxis with an international normalized ratio (INR) target range of 1.8 to 2.3 for a total duration of 3 weeks. The first dose will be administered in the evening on the day of surgery.
Her medical history includes newly diagnosed osteoporosis, recently started on alendronate; epilepsy that developed several years ago, controlled with phenytoin; and hypercholesterolemia for the past 9 years, for which she takes fluvastatin. She does not drink alcohol and has never smoked. She takes an OTC medicine, but does not recall the name of the product. She has some renal dysfunction (creatinine clearance 70 mL/minute). Her hepatic function is within normal range. F.D. requests that the medical team electronically transmit her new prescriptions postdischarge to a pharmacy located in close proximity to her friend’s home because she will be recuperating there.
What are F.D.’s risk factors for drug interactions with the addition of warfarin postsurgery?
F.D. has multiple factors including patient- and drug-specific ones that increase her risk for drug interactions. Her patient risk factors include age, gender, and renal dysfunction.
