- Although some interactions may be harmful, some can be beneficial too. For example, when taken together, aspirin and warfarin increase the tendency to bleed.
-A drug interaction is a change in the action or side effects of a drug caused by concomitant administration with a food, beverage, supplement, or another drug. There are many causes of drug interactions. For example, one drug may alter the pharmacokinetics of another.
-The medication effects could be gone even though some medication is still in your blood. Most medications have a half-life of about 24 hours, so they are gone — or close to it — in 4-5 days. A few medications have very long half-lives.
