When two antimicrobial drugs are used at the same time, antagonistic effects can occur. Which of the following is NOT a possible antagonistic effect of combining two antimicrobial drugs?
Group of answer choices

Increased toxicity

Increased activity of both drugs

Decreased activity of both drugs

Decreased therapeutic levels

Increased elimination of one drug

Respuesta :

Increased activity of both drugs

Conversely, this is an agonistic effect of the drug interaction

Explanation:

Taking two or more drugs at once or within a short period of time may cause the pharmacokinetics of the drugs to be affected by each other. This is called drug interaction or signaling pathway.

Drug antagonism means that the drugs negatively affect each other pharmacokinetics such as competing for target receptors. This is called drug antagonisms when this causes reduced effectiveness on both or one drug. The other choices depict the antagonistic effects of drug interactions.

The opposite is drug synergism where the interaction is positive resulting in increased effectiveness of both drugs.
