ADVERSE REACTIONS DUE TO DRUG INTERACTIONS

The list of drug interactions is ever increasing and very soon, for intelligent bedside therapeutics, we may require computer technology providing adequate data storage and quick retrieval of relevant information (Hill, Spicer & Weatherall, 1968). A handbook of drug interactions catalogues, in an alphabetical index, a formidable list of interactions (Swidler, 1971)). For rational and safe therapy, the medical students, the residents and the practicing doctors must be
aware of probable drug interactions.
