Drug-Drug Interactions for Therapeutic Biologics (Hardcover)

Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) occur when a patient is exposed simultaneously to multiple pharmaceuticals, which can result in variations in drug response of the co-administered drugs. Using illustrative case studies and examples, Drug-Drug Interactions for Therapeutic Biologics focuses on the theoretical and practical aspects of DDIs assessments for therapeutic biologics in drug development. The book addresses the complex nature of biologic drug development and DDIs, which are very different from more traditional small molecule drugs, to help readers solve problems of preclinical pharmacology, toxicology, and model-based approaches for biologic drug development and the risk of drug-drug interactions.
