DDI

DDI, or Drug-Drug Interaction, occurs when two or more medications are taken together, causing their effects to change—either increasing side effects or reducing effectiveness. These interactions can happen at the level of how drugs are absorbed, broken down, or eliminated from the body, or by affecting each other’s action at target sites. Proper management of DDIs is important to ensure medicines work safely and effectively, which is why healthcare providers carefully review all medications a person is taking to prevent adverse interactions.
