Drug interac ons: drug-drug - CORRECT ANSWERS When 2 drugs compete for metabolizing
enzymes
Drug interac ons: food-drug - CORRECT ANSWERS Grapefruit juice or leafy greens
Drug interac ons: addi ve - CORRECT ANSWERS 1+1 = 2; both provide intended effect
Drug interac ons: antagonis c - CORRECT ANSWERS 1+1 = <2; less than desired effect of one
or both drugs

given alone (i.e. lisinopril + HCTZ)
Drug interac ons: incompa bility - CORRECT ANSWERS 1+1 does not equal 2; two IV drugs
given together causing decomposi on of one or both drugs
