Purpose

• To provide reliable, rigorously researched answers to questions such as:
• Are the drugs and substances in question known to interact or is the interaction only theoretical or speculative?
• If they have do interact, how serious is it?
• Has the interaction been described many times or only once?
• Are all patients affected or only a few?
• Is it best to avoid these two substances altogether, or can the interaction be accommodated in some way?
• What alternative and safer drugs can be used instead?
