Basics of Drug Interactions EXPLAINED | Inhibition & Induction

The video tutorial by Kevin Tokoph covers xenobiotic drug metabolism, focusing on the liver's role and the cytochrome P-450 enzyme. It explains drug interactions through competitive and irreversible inhibition, where drugs compete for enzyme sites or permanently inactivate enzymes. The tutorial also discusses induction, where a drug increases enzyme production, affecting the metabolism of other drugs. These mechanisms impact drug efficacy and patient outcomes, such as heart rate changes.
