dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Concomitant use of drugs in the same or different indications can sometimes lead to undesirable interactions. The prevalence of drug interactions is high in cancer patients. In this study, we aimed to determine the frequency and clinical severity of drug interactions in outpatient lung cancer patients. Methods: The drugs used, kidney and liver blood analysis results of 160 outpatient lung cancer patients over the age of 18 who received chemotherapy between October 2020 and July 2021 were evaluated. The Lexi-Interact online database was used to identify the types of clinically significant drug interactions, frequently interacting drugs, and clinical outcomes predicted by the databases. Results: The average number of drugs per patient was 4.2 +/- 2.3. It was determined that there was a relationship between multi-drug use and comorbidity, and the number of drugs used increased as the number of diagnoses increased. A relationship was also found between potential drug-drug interactions (pDDI), which we observed in 52.5% of the patients, and the number of drugs used and age. The most common clinically significant C (36.9%), D (16.9%) and X (10.6%) type pDDI were detected between conventional paclitaxel-hydrochlorothiazide, conventional paclitaxel-carboplatin, and ipratropium-tiotropium, respectively. Conclusions: The use of frequently interacting drugs in outpatient lung cancer patients can lead to pDDI. In these patients, the application of therapy by observing the drug-drug interaction may improve the quality of life.
