Abstract
Background: Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) could lead to major
adverse events and therapeutic failure. A significant number DDI
are preventable and can be avoided once the factors that lead to it
are identified.
Aim of study: was to determine the frequency of DDIs among
patients admitted to at tertiary hospitals in Kharj, Saudi Ariba.
Method: A retrospective study to estimate the prevalence of
drug–drug interactions among admitted patients at tertiary
hospitals at Kharj, Saudi Arabia between January and December
2022. Micromedex Drug-Reax® was used to identified and
classified DDIs in prescribed drugs. The study was started after
obtaining the ethical approval. The collected data was entered
into Excel and descriptive statistic was done.
Result: 141 parents participated in the study with an average of 6
prescriptions per patients. The mean age was 47.7 and 76,53%
were female., 38.29% of patient have no drug-drug interaction.
Most of drug-drug interaction was minor (28.5%) and the most
common DDI was (Fentanyl + Meperidine ).

Methodology
• Study design: a retrospective study to estimate the prevalence of drug–
drug interactions for admitted patients to tertiary hospitals at Al-Kharj
hospitals, Saudi Arabia.
• Electronic medical records was reviewed between January and December
2022.
• Adult patients who are taking more than one medication and have an
active medical record will be included in the study.
• The sample size for this study was 141 patients and convenience
sampling technique was used.

department (51%)
• The most common type of DDI was minor (28.5%) follow by

• Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) are changes in a drug's
pharmacokinetics or effect by the presence of another drug,
which can lead to losing of efficacy or toxicity.
• Hospitalized patients are more likely to experience these DDIs
because of severe and complex illnesses, and comorbid
conditions, chronic use of medications.

Introduction
• A significant number DDI are preventable and can be avoided
by minimizing the use of multiple drug treatments. Multiple
drugs treatment is a potential risk of DDI when its
unnecessary.

Conclusion: The prevalence of DDI among admitted patients
was 60%, which indicates a need for special care when handling
the prescriptions .To prevent DDIs, by Physicians and
pharmacists should to by more aware of these potential of DDIs.
• Minor drug interactions do not cause any substantial
problems, while moderate drug interactions may lead to a
patient's clinical condition getting worse. Major drug
interactions have the potential to result in a condition that is
life-threatening
