Drug Interactions

Question 10 • VA_Pharmacology_A

What do food-drug and drug-drug interactions have in common?

Answer
A
In both cases, a substance changes the normal therapeutic effect of the drug.
B
In both cases, a substance increases the metabolism of a therapeutic drug.
C
In both cases, a substance decreases the efficacy of a therapeutic drug.
D
In both cases, a substance enhances the normal side effects of the drug.

Explanation

Both food-drug and drug-drug interactions happen when another substance affects how a medication works. The interaction may increase or decrease the drug’s effect, so it does not always increase metabolism, reduce efficacy, or enhance side effects. Choice A correctly describes what they have in common: a substance changes the drug’s normal therapeutic effect.
