Drug interactions in infectious diseases

The number and complexity of possible adverse drug interactions in the treatment of infectious diseases has grown significantly in recent years, not only because of the many new drugs, but also because patients with complex diseases are often being treated with multidrug regimens. In Drug Interactions in Infectious Disease, leading experts in antimicrobial pharmacology comprehensively review-and summarize for rapid access-important drug interactions that occur in the treatment of infectious diseases. The authors explain the mechanisms of drug-drug and drug-food interactions, examine their clinical significance and consequences, and detail practical clinical approaches to their management. Numerous patient case studies bring the data into perspective and illuminate critical interactions. The design, conduct, and data analysis of drug interaction studies is also outlined for clinicians involved in research. Comprehensive and highly practical, Drug Interactions in Infectious Disease offers health care professionals treating infectious diseases in their daily practice a comprehensive source of quickly accessible information about drug interaction problems, their mechanisms of action, and the best strategies for their management in busy patient care.

  • "The revised and up-to-date third edition of Drug Interactions in Infectious Diseases delivers a text that will enhance your clinical knowledge of the complex mechanisms, risks, and consequences of drug interactions associated with antimicrobials, infection, and inflammation. The third edition features five new chapters that cover material not addressed in previous editions. These new chapters describe interactions with a number of drug classes such as non-HIV antiviral, antimalarial, antiparasitic, antihelmintic, macrolide, azalide and ketolide agents. A novel chapter on probe cocktail studies has been included to highlight an important research tool for drug development. These chapters address material that cannot be retrieved easily in the medical literature. The highly acclaimed food-drug interactions as well as the study design and analysis chapters remain definitive references. The newly written drug-cytokine interaction highlights the need for our improved understanding of the complex interrelationship of acute infection, inflammation, and the risk of drug interactions. Informative tables on specific drug-drug interactions are provided throughout the chapters as a quick clinical resource.The Third Edition of Drug Interactions in Infectious Diseases is a distillation of relevant drug interactions associated with antimicrobials, infection, and inflammation. This concise review of the mechanisms and strategies to manage drug interactions should be valuable to all health care practitioners.Features --Definitive reference source of up-to-date information on antimicrobial drug interactions --Informative tables on the degree of interaction for specific antimicrobial agents --In-depth discussion of mechanisms and potential mechanistic pathways of interaction --New chapters on non-HIV antiviral, antimalarial, antiparasitic, and macrolide, azalide and ketolide agents --New chapter on probe-cocktail studies as a research tool to study drug-drug interactions --Inclusion of new antimicrobial agents and their associated drug interactions --First rate chapters on study design and analysis, and drug-food interactions --A fresh perspective on drug-cytokine interactions --Authoritative chapter on regulatory considerationsof drug interactions during drug development --Inclusion of new antimicrobial agents and their associated drug interactions."
