Abstract : A drug interaction is a change in a drug's action or side effects caused by taking it with food, drink, supplements, or another medication. We put ourselves at risk of potentially dangerous interactions every time we take a drug with another prescription medicine, OTC medicine, food item, or herb. The likelihood of a drug-drug interaction rises as the number of drugs used increases.
The "Object Drug" is the drug whose activity is affected by the interaction, while the "Precipitant" is the agent that causes the interaction.
