Hazards and Benefits of Drug Interaction
Labianca, Dominick A.
Intellect, 106, 2395, 401-3, Apr 78
Most cases of drug toxicity are direct consequences of drug misuse--either intentional or inadvertent. Discusses two types of drug interaction--synergistic and antagonistic. The former produces a combined effect greater than the sum of the effects of the individual drugs concerned; the latter is produced when the desired action of one drug is diminished or completely eliminated by the action of another drug.
