Poly
Drug Details
- Description
- Poly is a term that refers to various combinations of drugs used simultaneously, typically for enhancing effects or managing multiple conditions. It can involve prescribed medications or illicit substances, raising risks of drug interactions and side effects. Polypharmacy often refers to the use of multiple medications in the treatment of patients, especially older adults with chronic conditions.
- Alternative Names
- Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP).
- Key Genes
- Key genes involved in polypharmacy (the use of multiple medications) include CYP450 family genes like CYP2D6, CYP3A4, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19. These genes encode enzymes responsible for drug metabolism. Variations can affect drug efficacy and risk of adverse reactions. Other important genes include ABCB1, SLCO1B1, and VKORC1.
- Drug Use
- Poly drug use refers to the use of two or more drugs simultaneously or sequentially, either intentionally or unintentionally. This can increase the risk of adverse effects, drug interactions, and overdose.
