Drug Interaction in Infectious Diseases

Drug interactions in infectious diseases are a major source of medical harm that can be avoided. Patients are exposed to a high risk of drug interactions. Drug interactions provide a significant issue for patients and their care providers, according to the approved drug product labels for anti-infective medications, direct-acting antivirals for HCV, and HIV medications. Interactions could also be caused by non-CYP enzymes, CYP enzymes, and variations in stomachic pH, as well as the ever-growing list of drug transporters. Interactions caused by dietary components, flavouring drugs, and biological products are among the other problems.
