Question:

How is the drug-drug interaction on CYPs?

Author: H K



Answer:

More than 95% of drug biotransformations are done by CYP, so when 2 drugs coadmin and metabolized by same CYP they will compete, which can result in the inhibition of metabolism of one or both drugs leading to elevated plasma levels. So if there is a narrow therapeutic index for the drugs they will exhibit toxicity.
