What are Pharmacodynamic Drug Interactions?
Due to action at receptor of agonist with partial agonist or antagonist.

May result in Additive, >Additive, or Antagonistic Effects.
What contributes to Pharmacodynamic Drug Interactions?
Lack of receptor specificity

Adaptations of the receptor (Down-Regulation or Cross-Resistance)
How do Pharmacokinetic Drug Interactions affect Drug Absorption?
Interacting Drugs may change:

Absorption Rates
pH
Bioavailability
What are 3 ways Pharmacokinetic Drug Interactions change Drug Absorption?
1) Change pH/pKa Relationship

2) Physiochemical Interactions

3) Changes in Transit Time
How do Pharmacokinetic Drug Interactions affect Drug Distribution?
Disturb Blood Flow
Protein Binding
Change Distribution Site
List some examples of highly protein bound drugs:
NSAIDs
Warfarin
Amphotericin B
Imidazole Antifungals
Propranolol
Furosemide
Thiopental
Quinidine
Erythromycin
How do Phramacokinetic Drug Interactions affect Metabolism?
Accelerated Metabolism
Inhibited Metabolism
List some examples of Microsomal Enzyme Inducers:
Barbituates
Phenylbutazone
Rifampin
Chlorinated Compounds of High MW
List some examples of indirect Mircosomal Enzyme Inhibitors:
Tetracycline
Chloramphenicol
Macrolides (except Rifampin)
Imidazole Antifungals
Omeprazole
Quinidine
List some drugs that are highly metabolized by Microsomal Enzymes:
Barbiturates
NSAIDs
Steroids
Antihistamines
Opiods
Tranquilizers
Antifungals
Sulfa Drugs
Warfarin
Quinidine
Propranolol
Others
How do Phramacokinetic Drug Interactions affect Excretion?
Kidney-Glomerular Filtration
Kidney-Tubular Secretion
Kidney-Tubular Reabsorption
Gastrointestinal Effects
How do Phramacokinetic Drug Interactions affect Kidney Glomerular Filtration?
Not a site for many drug interactions unless drug causes kidney damage.

GFR increases when Protein Binding Decreases.

GFR especially important for drugs with LOW Vd.
How do Phramacokinetic Drug Interactions affect Kidney-Tubular Secretion?
Weak Acids compete for Weak Acid binding sites.

Weak Bases compete for Weak Base binding sites.

Competition can be used to keep drugs in circulation longer.
How do Phramacokinetic Drug Interactions affect Kidney-Tubular Reabsorption?
Affect pH/pKa relationship of urine--> Ion Trapping
How do Phramacokinetic Drug Interactions affect Gastrointestinal Factors?
One drug can change the transit time of another that uses this route of excretion, increasing or decreasing the time in the body.
What are Physiological Drug Interactions?
Those that deal with clinical manifestations rather than mechanisms.

How the whole body or organ is effected.
What class of Drug Interaction is the following:

Additive Interaction of Aminoglycoside or Cephalosporins with Loop Diuretics causes renal toxicity if the patient is dehydrated.
Physiological Drug Interaction
What class of Drug Interaction is the following:

Additive Arrhythmogenic effects of Epinephrine and Halogenated Inhalant Anesthetics (Halothane).
Physiological Drug Interaction
What class of Drug Interaction is the following:

Additive Effects of Sympathomimetics and Methylxanthines
Physiological Drug Interaction
What class of Drug Interaction is the following:

Antidotal effects of Epinephrine on Histamine-mediated bronchoconstriction and vasodilation
Physiological Drug Interaction
What class of Drug Interaction is the following:

Antidotal effects of barbituates and convulsants.
Physiological Drug Interaction
What class of Drug Interaction is the following:

Additive or Synergistic effects of Opiods and Barbituates.
Physiological Drug Interaction
Why do the following pairs cause drug interactions??:

Epinephrine & Alpha and Beta Blockers

Norepinephrine & Alpha Blockers

Prostaglandins & NSAIDs

Penicillin & Tetracycline

Penicillin & Polymixin B

Antacids & Tetracycline

Propranolol & Phenylbutazone

Lidocaine & Neostigmine
Epinephrine & Alpha and Beta Blockers: Antagonistic Reaction

Norepinephrine & Alpha Blockers: Antagonistic Reaction

Prostaglandins & NSAIDs: Opposite Effects

Penicillin & Tetracycline: Bacteriocidal & Bacteriostatic

Penicillin & Polymixin B: Weak Acid & Weak Base

Antacids & Tetracycline: Antacids contain contain divalent cations that chelate with Tetracycline and decrease its effectiveness.

Propranolol & Phenylbutazone: Both highly protein bound

Lidocaine & Neostigmine: Lidocaine's metabolism is decreased by ChE Inhibitors like Neostigmine
What do all of the following pairs of drugs have in common?

Sympathomimetics & MOA Inhibitor

Acepromazine & Opiods

Acepromazine & Barbituates

Sulfas & Propranolol

Site 1, 2, and 3 Diuretics & Digoxin

Warfarin & Tetracycline

Quinidine & Digoxin

Ca & Digoxin

Site IV Diuretic & Site 1, 2, or 3 Diuretics

NSAIDs & Propranolol
They all POTENTIATE each other.
