Drug interaction
The drugs I suggest are tamoxifen and Cymbalta or Paxil
The following are the professors’ instructions.
DRUG INTERACTION PAPER
All students will write a short research paper in APA format and professional writing, no more than 5 pages of written text, describing one of the following:
Drug-Drug interactions: pick two drugs and discuss the drug-drug interaction from a pharmacotherapeutic, pharmacodynamic and clinical relevancy
Drug-Food interactions: pick a drug and a food then discuss the drug-food interaction from a pharmacotherapeutic, pharmacodynamics and clinical relevancy
Drug-Supplement interactions: pick a drug and a supplement discuss the drug-supplement interaction from a pharmacotherapeutic, pharmacodynamics and clinical relevancy
You will be graded on:
Idea and concept
Clear and concise writing
Proper grammar and spelling: Please edit your paper, you will be marked down for this.
Comprehensive analysis of the interaction
Understanding of the two substances
Pharmacokinetics of the drug(s)
Clinical application (Is this interaction clinically significant or theoretical)
At least one references not older than 5 years (if possible), you will need to use older, classic articles. There must be 3 -5 research articles listed in the reference section. You may not use all textbooks and online information. When discussing a specific drug, the best source of information is the drug’s package insert.
APA format: this must be complete APA format. This will be weighted heavily in your final grade.
