Interaction

Interaction: Mutual Influence on the Effect of Substances

This refers to the fact that substances can influence each other in their effects. This influence can be both positive and intended, as well as negative and unintended. In the case of medications, you should therefore always read the package leaflet thoroughly to find out whether your medication is well-tolerated with other substances you are also taking.

Positive Example: Calcium can be absorbed much better and more actively by the body in combination with Vitamin D3.

Negative Example: The contraceptive "the pill for women" loses its effectiveness when taken simultaneously with antibiotics.
