- Beverly A. Kroner, PharmD, BCPS
Abstract
In Brief
This article focuses on common prescription drug interactions in the treatment of diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and erectile dysfunction. Mechanisms of the drug interactions and recommendations for clinical practice are highlighted. Because of concerns about potentially negative effects some prescription medications may have on glycemic control in people with diabetes, some of these drug-disease interactions are also addressed.
