This handbook offers a quick guide to possible adverse effects
of drug interactions, with brief recommendations for precaution-
ary measures. References are given to original reports that
provide more complete discussions of each interaction.
This book— lists adverse drug interactions, their mechanisms,
and recommendations for clinical management. These listings
are usually based on clinical reports in humans.
Reports of interactions between more than two drugs are
appearing in the medical literature with increasing frequency.
Where these have been documented, they are noted as
comments under interacting pairs of drugs. Interactions listed
for groups of drugs (such as “cephalosporins” or “antidepres-
sants, 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 interac-
tions. When an interaction is documented by one or two case
reports rather than by clinical studies or reports in many
patients, the year of each report is given as some indication of
frequency.
Omissions—Drugs for which we have no documented
interaction are not included. New adverse interactions are
continually being reported; the absence of an interaction does
not necessarily mean that drugs will not interact when given
concurrently. Interactions between general anesthetics and
drugs likely to be administered during surgery, such as
autonomic drugs and local anesthetics, are not included here.
Interactions useful in therapy, such as increased plasma
concentration of penicillin with concurrent use of probenecid,
are also not included.
Common additive effects, such as occur with the use of two
Introduction

antihypertensive agents or two central-nervous-system
depressants, are generally not included. 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 not listed. Most interactions of drugs with foods,
beverages, or other nutrients are not included, but foods
interacting with monoamine oxidase inhibitors are included.
Mechanisms of Interaction—Genetic differences can affect
drug metabolism and interactions. 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; by altering
the binding of other drugs to plasma proteins or tissue
receptors; by altering the distribution of drugs to active receptor
sites; by delaying or enhancing excretion; or by causing 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 concentration of drugs.
Important Notice: The Medical Letter Drug Interactions
Program reports interactions occurring in people, which
can be documented primarily by published reports.
These may not include interactions mentioned in other
sources, such as the manufacturer’s package insert,
which are extrapolated from animal studies or interac-
tions reported for related drugs.
