Are there specific populations at higher risk for drug interactions?
Certain populations are at higher risk for drug interactions, including:
- Elderly patients: Due to polypharmacy and age-related changes in drug metabolism and excretion. - Patients with comorbidities: Those with multiple health conditions often take several medications, increasing the risk of interactions. - Patients with liver or kidney impairment: These conditions can alter drug metabolism and excretion, making interactions more likely.
