Drug interactions in the human body can have significant consequences, and their effects can vary depending on the body part they are targeting. The liver, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, brain and nervous system, and cardiovascular system are all vital organs that can be impacted by drug interactions. The liver plays a crucial role in metabolizing drugs, and excessive alcohol consumption can damage the liver and interfere with drug metabolism. Similarly, the kidneys are responsible for filtering waste products, and some drugs can impact their function, leading to potential toxicity. The gastrointestinal tract is where drugs are often administered, and some medications can irritate the GI tract, leading to side effects such as nausea and vomiting. Additionally, some drugs can interact with food, delaying or enhancing their absorption.
