Introduction to the HADI

This handbook offers a quick guide to pos­sible adverse effects of drug interactions, with brief recommendations for precaution­ary measures. Pairs of interacting drugs are listed alphabetically, followed by the ad­verse interaction, its mechanism (in paren­theses), references and recommendations for clinical management. These listings are usually based on clinical reports. Interac­tions listed for groups of drugs (such as “cephalosporins” or “antidepressants, tricy­clic”) may not have been reported for every drug in the group; known exceptions to the interaction are noted.
It is not possible to determine the frequency of most interactions. When an interaction is docu­mented by one or two case reports rather than clinical studies or reports in many patients, the year of each report is given as some indication of frequency.
Reports of interactions between more than two drugs have begun to appear in the medical lit­erature. Where these have been documented, they are noted as comments under interacting pairs of drugs.
UNDOCUMENTED INTERACTIONS ––
New adverse interactions are continually being reported; the absence of a listing in this book
does not necessarily mean that drugs will not interact when given concurrently. Interactions extrapolated from animal studies or interac­tions reported with related drugs, frequently mentioned in other sources, such as the manufacturer’s package insert may not be in­cluded here.
Interactions between general anesthetics and drugs likely to be administered during surgery , such as autonomic drugs and local anesthetics, are not included. Interactions useful in therapy, such as increased plasma concentration of penicillin with concurrent use of probenecid, are also not listed. Drug combinations should be looked up under their components.
Common additive effects, such as occur with use of two antihypertensive agents or two cen­tral nervous system depressants, are generally not listed. Effects expected from the mechanism of a drug’s action, such as that of potassium on digitalis glycosides or calcium on calcium-entry blockers, and useful antagonist effects, such as that between a poison and an antidote, are also not included. Most interactions of drugs with foods, beverages, or other nutrients are not listed, but foods interacting with monoamine oxidase inhibitors are included.

Introduction to the HADI

Key Guide

MECHANISMS OF INTERACTIONS —
Genetic differences can affect drug metabolism and interactions. Some drugs can interact by changing the metabolism of other drugs, either through inhibition or induction of any of sev­eral hepatic enzyme activities or through alter­ations in hepatic blood flow. Many drugs are metabolized by cytochrome P450 isozymes. These isozymes are named according to a stan­dard system, e.g., CYP3A4 or P4503A4. Drugs that are substrates or inhibitors for the same isozyme in vitro are likely to interact, but no interaction may be detectable, or it may not be clinically significant. Other drugs alter the binding of another drug to plasma proteins or tissue receptors, alter the distribution of drugs to active receptor sites, delay or enhance excre­tion, or cause additive or synergistic effects.
RECOMMENDATIONS — Monitoring is most important when one of the interacting drugs is stopped or started. Some experienced clinicians may prefer to monitor the patient’s clinical status rather than follow serum concen­trations of drugs. Concurrent use of drugs from the same group, e.g., aspirin and other NSAIDs, should be avoided.
