Drug Interactions in Infectious Diseases

Drug interaction is that in which another drug affects the activity of a drug when both are administered together. This action can be synergistic when the drug's effect is increased or decreased or a new effect can be produced that neither produces on its own. Innovations in drug development have led to the introduction of many chemical entities in clinical practice over the past years. Drug Interactions in Infectious Diseases is a distillation of relevant drug interactions associated with antimicrobials, infection, and inflammation.
