Abstract:
Pharmaceutical incompatibilities refer to the undesirable reactions that occur when two or more substances are combined, leading to the loss of efficacy, reduced potency, or potential harm to the patient. These reactions can occur during the compounding, dispensing, or administration of pharmaceutical products, and can affect the stability, appearance, and therapeutic effectiveness of medications. Pharmaceutical incompatibilities are classified into three main categories: physical, chemical, and therapeutic incompatibilities. Physical incompatibilities involve changes in the physical state of the substances, such as precipitation, immiscibility, or changes in color, odor, or taste. Chemical incompatibilities result from chemical reactions between substances, leading to the degradation of active ingredients or the formation of toxic compounds. Therapeutic incompatibilities occur when the combined effect of drugs leads to an altered pharmacological response, reducing the efficacy or increasing the risk of adverse effects.
