DDIs -It’s Mostly Bad News
Bad news: Thousands of them Literature: Awful Terminology: Worse Can be fatal
Good news: Avoidable

Avoiding DDIs (a.k.a How to Not Kill People)
![Page 34: David Juurlink - Drug Interactions That Can Kill (and How to Avoid Them)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062905/5871a4d41a28ab044e8b7d07/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
1. Keep a short list of “triggers”
antibiotics verapamil, diltiazem amiodarone CNS depressants
![Page 35: David Juurlink - Drug Interactions That Can Kill (and How to Avoid Them)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062905/5871a4d41a28ab044e8b7d07/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
2. Some meds warrant extra caution
anticoagulants digoxin sulfonylureas opioids miscellaneous
anticonvulsants lithium immunosuppressants
![Page 36: David Juurlink - Drug Interactions That Can Kill (and How to Avoid Them)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062905/5871a4d41a28ab044e8b7d07/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
3. Is there a safer alternative?
Maybe macrolides -> azithro SMX/TMP -> almost anything else -lactams pravastatin, rosuvastatin citalopram, venlafaxine
![Page 37: David Juurlink - Drug Interactions That Can Kill (and How to Avoid Them)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062905/5871a4d41a28ab044e8b7d07/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
4. Have some resources
#1: A good pharmacist

5. Arm the patient
