Cytochrome P450 Interactions

Cytochrome P450 enzymes are responsible for metabolizing approximately 75% of clinically used drugs. Inhibition or induction of CYP enzymes is a major mechanism of drug-drug interactions.

Drug-Drug Interactions Overview

Drug-drug interactions occur when one drug affects the pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics of another drug, leading to altered therapeutic effects or toxicity.

Food-Drug Interactions

Food can significantly affect drug absorption, metabolism, and efficacy. Understanding food-drug interactions is essential for optimizing drug therapy.

P-Glycoprotein Interactions

P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is an efflux transporter that affects drug absorption, distribution, and elimination. P-gp interactions can alter the pharmacokinetics of substrate drugs.
