Body response to certain types of drugs that produce both a physiological need and a phychological crabing for the substance

Result subserved when medications, used together, have adverse effects or counteract one another

Exaggerated drug effects, which occur when the body in unable to meatbolize a drug as rapidly as it is administered; the accumulated, unmetabolized drug may cause unfavorable reactions

Effect from drugs that slow down cell function

Individual's development of a psychological need for a specific medication.

Allergic response to a specific drug; such allergies may be demonstrated by a mild skin irritation, itching, a rash, or a severe anaphylactic reaction, which could be fatal

Unusual reaction to a drug; a distinctive response

Process, as well as effect, caused by substances that result in a cellular change; mild irritation may stimulate cell activity, whereas moderate or severe irritation by a drug may decrease cell activity

A drug-induced effect that is the exact opposite of that which is therapeutically intended

A pharmaceutical that increases the effect of another; for example, codeine is potentiated by aspirin, and therefore less of it is required to relieve pain

Action usually produced by a drug in a select tissue or organ system

The result of a medication that is given for a particular condition but affects other body areas or has effects other than those sought

Effect caused by drugs that speed up cell activity

Result that occurs when drugs given together produce a greater reaction that when given alone

Condition existing when a certain drug dosage is no longer able to give a therapeutic action and must therefore be increased
