Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The issue of drug interactions is crucial in daily clinical practice for physicians, nurses, and pharmacists. This problem is especially important in the case of antibiotics, where the interplay between co-administered drugs can change the pharmacological activity of the antibiotic and may affect the treatment of the infection. The safety of drug administration is a vital aspect of clinical practice, especially in light of reports showing that about half of all intravenous preparations and infusions are administered incorrectly. The use of incompatible preparations causes approximately 20% of all medical errors and accounts for 89% of errors in drug administration.
This Special Issue in Antibiotics is dedicated to interactions between antibiotics and parenteral drugs and aims to draw together experts in the fields of pharmaceutical sciences, microbiology, chemistry, and clinical medicine. Submissions (original papers and reviews) contributing to the understanding of drug–drug interactions and presenting implications for clinical practice are invited for this Special Issue.
