How can a practicing urologist prevent adverse drug interactions?

Abstract

Today it is difficult to think of a clinician who does not utilize a multitude of pharmacotherapeutic options. The modern clinical pharmacology has significantly expanded the opportunities for conservative, medicinal treatment of diseases for which surgery was the only method of cure in the past. The growth in the arsenal of drugs, however, often results in prescription of a multitude of drugs at the same time. It becomes increasingly important therefore to assess drug interactions to enhance efficacy of treatment and prevention of adverse reactions.
