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 in the comments under interacting pairs
of drugs.
CRITERIA FOR LISTING INTERACTIONS –– New adverse interactions are continu-
ally 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 from interac-
tions reported with related drugs, 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 the 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 or two drugs that affect
blood clotting, 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.
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. A reference table
3

Introduction to the HADI
Key Guide
of drugs and their CYP450 isoforms is available
on the internet at www.drug-interactions.com.
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 inter-
action 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.
Elimination of a drug can also be affected by the
P-glycoprotein membrane-bound transport system. Digoxin, for example, moves across cell
membranes by a P-glycoprotein controlled process. Drugs such as quinidine that inhibit P-glycoprotein activity, can increase the serum
concentration and toxicity of digoxin.
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.
