Advanced PGx: Drug-Drug Interactions & Polypharmacy
For clinicians managing polypharmacy patients, drug-drug interactions (DDIs) pose a significant challenge. Certain medications can inhibit or induce metabolic pathways, leading to reduced efficacy, heightened toxicity, or unexpected side effects.
This advanced CPD webinar builds upon foundational pharmacogenomics (PGx) knowledge, focusing on how drug metabolism, transport, and elimination are affected when multiple medications interact. You will gain practical insights into how PGx testing can optimise treatment decisions, reduce adverse drug reactions (ADR), and enhance patient safety.

Why Attend?
- Polypharmacy is increasing – Over 50% of adults over 65 take five or more medications, raising the risk of DDIs.
- DDIs can be fatal – ADRs cost the NHS an estimated £2 billion annually, with many linked to enzyme inhibition and altered metabolism.
- PGx provides solutions – By understanding CYP450 enzyme interactions, drug transporters, and organ burden, you can personalise prescribing and avoid harmful interactions.
