A Case Report on Drug Interactions in Body
Author(s): Amy Flintoff*
Drug interactions in the human body can have significant consequences,
and their effects can vary depending on the body part they are targeting.
The liver, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, brain and nervous system,
and cardiovascular system are all vital organs that can be impacted by
drug interactions. The liver plays a crucial role in metabolizing drugs,
and excessive alcohol consumption can damage the liver and interfere
with drug metabolism. Similarly, the kidneys are responsible for filtering
waste products, and some drugs can impact their function, leading to
potential toxicity. The gastrointestinal tract is where drugs are often
administered, and some medications can irritate the GI tract, leading to
side effects such as nausea and vomiting. Additionally, some drugs can
interact with food, delaying or enhancing their absorption.
