12. Additive effects: Drug interactions in which the effect of a combination of two
or more drugs with similar actions is equivalent to the sum of the individual effects
of the same drugs given alone.
13. Adverse drug event: any undesirable occurrence related to administering or
failing to administer a prescribed medication
14. Adverse drug reaction: any unexpected, unintended, undesired, or excessive
response to a medication given at therapeutic dosages (as opposed to overdose)
15. Adverse effects: A general term for any undesirable effects that are a direct
response to one or more drugs.

17. Allergic reaction: An immunologic hypersensitivity reaction resulting from the

event.
18. Antagonist: drug binds to the receptor, there is no response
drug prevents binding of agonists
19. Antagonistic effects: Drug interactions in which the effect of a combination of
two or more drugs is less than the sum of the individual effects of the same drugs
given. It is usually caused by an antagonizing (blocking or reducing) effect of one
drug on another.
20. Bioavailability: A measure of the extent of drug absorption for a given drug and
route (from 0% to 100%).
21. Biotransformation: One or more biochemical reactions involving a parent drug;
occurs mainly in the liver and produces a metabolite that is either inactive or active.
Also known as metabolism.
22. blood-brain barrier: The barrier system that restricts the passage of various
chemicals and microscopic entities (e.g., bacteria, viruses) between the blood-

substances such as oxygen.
23. Chemical name: The name that describes the chemical composition and mol-
ecular structure of a drug.
