Abstract

Background

Adverse drug interactions are major causes of morbidity, hospitalizations, and mortality. The greatest risk of drug interactions occurs through in the cytochrome system. CYP3A4, the most prevalent cytochrome, accounts for 30–50% of drugs metabolized through type I enzymes.

Materials and methods

Palliative patients received medications for symptoms and co-morbidities, many of which are substrate, inhibitors, or promoters of CYP3A4 activity and expression. A literature review on CYP3A4 was performed pertinent to palliative medicine.

Discussion

In this state of the art review, we discuss the CYP3A4 genetics, and kinetics and common medications, which are substrates or inhibitor/promoters of CYP3A4.

Conclusion

We made some recommendations for drug choices to avoid clinically important drug interaction.
