Potential Metabolism Interactions
Substrate-Substrate Interaction:If more than one drug is metabolized by the same CYP, it is
possible that its metabolism is inhibited because of the competition between the drugs. That means, it can
be useful to lower the dosage of the drugs in the drug-cocktail because they remain longer in the organism
than in monotherapy.
Inhibitor-Inhibitor Interaction:Combining two or more inhibitors of one CYP, should be
compensated by lowering the dosage of these drugs because the metabolism is reduced and the drugs remain
longer in the organism than in monotherapy. Not adapting the dosage bears the risk of even more side
effects.
Inhibitor-Substrate Interaction:Combining drugs that have inhibitory effect and are
substrates of one particular CYP, should be compensated by lowering the dosage. They rest longer in the
organism than in monotherapy. Not adapting the dosage bears the risk of even more side effects.
