Abstract:
Drug interactions are an important and often underappreciated cause of adverse clinical outcomes. This review considers the mechanisms for several clinically important drug interactions that involve the major classes of anti-infective agents. This approach is intended to complement the use of text-based references and computer databases so that physicians and pharmacists can avoid prescribing and dispensing drugs that have adverse interactions.
