[edit] Definition

Regarding this line: Drug interaction is a situation in which two or more separate drugs have been absorbed into the body, shouldn't drug interation take into account reactions that occur outside the body? For example, in mixed drip bags? Thisis what we are taught in our pharmacology classes, at any rate, and I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on this. Kilbosh 09:16, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

You are right, so be bold and add what you learned in to the article. However, I would think that what happens in the mixed drip bags is more a matter of Pharmacy than Pharmacology.   Andreas   (T) 16:05, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
I think that generally is not ment by this term.--Steven Fruitsmaak | Talk 21:51, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Interactions with withdrawn drugs

I saw some recent news coverage of people suffering toxicity from levamisole in cocaine in the U.S., and I noticed that a few of the well-known fatalities were people who had also been under the influence of alprazolam (Xanax). Of course, a couple of cases are not scientific evidence. But as levamisole was withdrawn in the U.S. and some other countries during the past decade, I have to wonder: would anyone keep records on such an interaction? Wnt (talk) 18:31, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
