COMMON CARDIOVASCULAR MEDICATION INTERACTIONS

B. Navya, S. Ashwitha, Dr. Nikhil Kumar Vanjari

Abstract :

There are various classes of cardiovascular drugs and other drugs used in the cardiac patient to treat comorbid conditions.To reduce the mortality and morbidity in cardiac patients and for the treatment of comorbidites ,the prescription contains multiple drugs leading to polypharmacy. Medication errors are mainly caused due to drug interactions. With the increase in number of comorbidities,there is increase in number of drugs in prescription, With increase in the number of drugs prescribed,potential drug–drug interactions increases.Based on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the drug,with slight modification in the dosage regimen most of the DDIs can be avoided.To reduce the risk associated with DDIs improved awareness among prescribers is required. While prescribing,use of drug groups commonly involved in potential DDIs should be minimized and optimized.Here we summarise the drug–drug interactions,mechanisms and clinical management of common cardiac medications
