Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In contrast, antagonistic interactions occur when the physiological effects of two or more drugs taken together are less than the sum of their effects when taken separately. Selective interactions and endogenous interactions are not relevant to the physiological effects of multiple drugs taken at once.
