Abstract:

The expanded use of multiple drugs has increased the occurrence of adverse drug reactions ADRs induced by drug-drug interactions DDIs. However, such reactions are typically not observed in clinical drug development studies because most of them focus on single-drug therapies. ADR reporting systems collect information on adverse health effects caused by both single drugs and DDIs. A major challenge is to unambiguously identify the effects caused by DDIs and to attribute them to specific drug interactions. A computational method that provides prospective predictions of potential DDI-induced ADRs will help to identify and mitigate these adverse health effects.
