Pharmacokinetic Interactions
Modifications in the effect of a drug are caused by differences in the absorption, transport, distribution, metabolization or excretion of one or both of the drugs compared with the expected behaviour of each drug when taken individually. These changes are basically modifications in the concentration of the drugs. In this respect two drugs can be homergic if they have the same effect in the organism and heterergic if their effects are different.

Famous quotes containing the word interactions:
“The exercise of power is determined by thousands of interactions between the world of the powerful and that of the powerless, all the more so because these worlds are never divided by a sharp line: everyone has a small part of himself in both.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
