D. CLASSIFICATION OF MECHANISM
ALTERATIONS IN ABSORPTION
Complexation/Chelation Example: antacids + tetracycline Impact: tetracycline complexes with divalent cations forming an insoluble complex

D. CLASSIFICATION OF MECHANISM
ALTERATIONS IN ABSORPTION
Complexation/Chelation

Altered GI Transit Example: anticholinergics + acetaminophen
Impact: delay in absorption of acetaminophen

D. CLASSIFICATION OF MECHANISM
ALTERATIONS IN ABSORPTION
Complexation/Chelation

Altered GI Transit
Altered Gastric pH Example: H-2 blockers + ketoconazole Impact: dissolution of ketoconazole is decreased, resulting in reduced absorption

D. CLASSIFICATION OF MECHANISM
ALTERATIONS IN ABSORPTION ALTERATIONS IN HEPATIC METABOLISM
Induction of Metabolism Example: phenobarbital + warfarin Impact: phenobarbital increases the metabolism of warfarin, resulting in reduced anticoagulation

D. CLASSIFICATION OF MECHANISM
ALTERATIONS IN ABSORPTION ALTERATIONS IN HEPATIC METABOLISM
Induction of Metabolism Inhibition of Metabolism Example: cimetidine + theophylline Impact: cimetidine reduces the clearance of theophylline causing an increase in adverse effects

D. CLASSIFICATION OF MECHANISM
ALTERATIONS IN ABSORPTION ALTERATIONS IN HEPATIC METABOLISM ALTERATIONS IN RENAL CLEARANCE
Increase in Renal Blood Flow Example: hydralazine + digoxin
Impact: hydralazine increases the renal clearance of digoxin

D. CLASSIFICATION OF MECHANISM
ALTERATIONS IN ABSORPTION ALTERATIONS IN HEPATIC METABOLISM ALTERATIONS IN RENAL CLEARANCE
Increase in Renal Blood Flow Inhibition of Active Tubular Secretion Example: probenecid + penicillin
Impact: probenecid prolongs the half-life of penicillin, allowing single dose therapy

D. CLASSIFICATION OF MECHANISM
ALTERATIONS IN ABSORPTION ALTERATIONS IN HEPATIC METABOLISM ALTERATIONS IN RENAL CLEARANCE
Increase in Renal Blood Flow Inhibition of Active Tubular Secretion Alterations in Tubular Reabsorption Example: antacids + aspirin
Impact: antacids reduce the tubular reabsorption of salicylate via an increase in urine pH

D. CLASSIFICATION OF MECHANISM
ALTERATIONS IN ABSORPTION ALTERATIONS IN HEPATIC METABOLISM ALTERATIONS IN RENAL CLEARANCE ALTERATIONS IN PLASMA PROTEIN BINDING
Example: phenytoin + valproic acid Impact: protein binding of valproic acid is reduced and total Css decreased
