The quantitative impact of metabolism‐inhibiting drugs on the occurrence of adverse drug reactions—A backward selection approach

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim The quantitative effect of several inhibitory drugs on the development of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) is currently difficult to estimate. Our aim was to identify metabolic pathways, which, when inhibited, increase the risk for certain ADRs, and to use this system to consider comedication at individual level. Methods Data of a prospective
