Types of Drug Interactions
Types of Drug Interactions ( 14 Questions)
A patient has been prescribed two drugs with one drug inhibiting another drug’s metabolic pathway. What effect will this have on plasma levels?
Decreasing plasma levels will not occur as inhibition decreases enzyme activity leading to slower elimination of drugs.
Inhibition decreases enzyme activity leading to slower metabolism and elimination of drugs resulting in higher plasma levels.
No effect will not occur as inhibition decreases enzyme activity leading to slower elimination of drugs.
Increasing half-life will not occur as inhibition decreases enzyme activity leading to slower elimination of drugs.
Inhibition decreases enzyme activity leading to slower metabolism and elimination of drugs resulting in higher plasma levels.
a. Decreasing plasma levels will not occur as inhibition decreases enzyme activity leading to slower elimination of drugs.
b. Increasing plasma levels will occur due to slower elimination of drugs.
c. No effect will not occur as inhibition decreases enzyme activity leading to slower elimination of drugs.
d. Increasing half-life will not occur as inhibition decreases enzyme activity leading to slower elimination of drugs.
