Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Drug-drug interaction (DDI) is one of the main causes of toxicity and treatment inefficacy. This work focuses on non-communicable diseases (NCDs), the non-transmissible and long-lasting diseases since they are the leading cause of death globally. Drugs that are used in NCDs increase the probability of DDIs as a result of long time usage. This work proposes an Integrated Action Crossing (IAC) method that is effective in predicting the NCDs DDIs based on pharmacokinetic (PK) mechanism.
