When drug interactions do occur, or are suspected to have occurred, practical information is needed urgently. This handbook gives access to the effects of combining one type of substance with another, a concise understanding of mechanisms of that combination and guidelines on treatment.

Prescribing more than one drug to a patient raises the possibility of one drug affecting the intesity of action, duration of action, and the occurrence of serious side effects assoicated with another drug. 'The Handbook of Drug Interactions' provides an easy to use, clinically relevant approach to this increasingly complex problem, bringing together information from all available sources. For each drug a simple, at-a-glance table gives an immediate guide to whether action is increased, decreased, or changed in other ways by co-administered drugs. These tables are then cross-referred to more detailed text that indicates what action needs to be taken. Mechanisms of interactions and the latest references are included for those with a particular interest in the subject. Drugs are grouped according to their clinical use and there is minimal use of complicated pharmacological terminology. The index includes alternative drug names to ensure relevance around the world.
