Drug Interactions in Infectious Diseases: Mechanisms and Models of Drug Interactions Fourth Edition
Drug Interactions in Infectious Diseases, Fourth Edition is the most comprehensive, evidence-based guide to understanding, predicting, and managing drug–drug interactions in the treatment of infectious diseases. This updated edition combines cutting-edge pharmacology, clinical experience, and mechanistic modeling to help healthcare professionals prevent treatment failures, toxicities, and resistance caused by harmful drug combinations.
Written by leading experts in infectious disease pharmacotherapy, this book addresses the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic principles underlying drug interactions, covering not just antibiotics but also antivirals, antifungals, antimalarials, and antiparasitic agents. It provides practical strategies for clinicians, pharmacists, and researchers to optimize dosing regimens, reduce risks, and improve patient outcomes.
