Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) can significantly impact patient safety and treatment efficacy. This book provides a comprehensive guide to predicting and managing DDIs in clinical settings. It covers the mechanisms underlying pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic interactions, risk assessment strategies, and the use of computational models and databases for predicting potential interactions. With practical examples and case studies, the book serves as an essential resource for clinicians, pharmacists, and healthcare professionals aiming to minimize the risks associated with polypharmacy and optimize therapeutic regimens.
