Drug Interactions Casebook: The Cytochrome P450 System and Beyond

Abstract

(from the cover) This volume of case vignettes was written to complement the principles detailed in Concise Guide to Drug Interaction Principles for Medical Practice, Second Edition. Each case is thoroughly referenced and depicts real clinical events. Many are direct narrations from patients, with identifiers subtly altered to ensure confidentiality. Others are constructed around well-known, accepted, and multiply-verified interactions. Indexed and referenced, with three indispensable appendixes of tables for quick reference to the P450 system, UGTs, and P-glycoproteins, the case vignettes in this book illustrate interactions with both psychoactive agents and drugs from other branches of medicine.
