The profiles individuals evaluated using SuperCYPsPred software UpToDate® Lexidrug. frequency possible evaluated. pharmacists' judgments to suggest adjustments based on documented. Results: prevalence identified among 220 persons 84.5%. Moderate severity predominant significant kind interaction (2.70±3.157). linear regression performed predict drug number drugs. association has been (F(1,14)= 67.789, p<0.001). CYP isoenzyme CYP3A4 34.6%, followed by CYP2C9 21.4% CYP2D6 15.7%, no notable gender differences. Conclusion: have least one DDI. Elderly adults taking or medicines require frequent care owing fourfold greater chance interactions.
