Answer:

the medication should have no interaction with the client's other medications, because this is absorbed locally at the site of the hemorrhoids

Explanation:

Drug interactions are one of the most common drug-related problems. Seeking information about this problem is essential for the efficiency of pharmacological treatment and to avoid health damage caused by the use of medicines.

Topical ointments are creams that are used on the skin and are absorbed where they were applied, so there is a very low risk that these ointments interact with other medicines, as these interactions occur with medicines that enter the bloodstream. Therefore, we can conclude that in the case of the patient described in the question, the drug should not interact with the client's other drugs, because it is absorbed locally at the hemorrhoid site.
