What is the Impact of CYP3A5 on Drug-Drug Interactions?
CYP3A5 can significantly affect drug-drug interactions. For instance, if two drugs are metabolized by CYP3A5, they may compete for the enzyme, potentially leading to altered drug levels in the body. This can increase the risk of adverse effects or reduce the efficacy of one or both drugs. Understanding the role of CYP3A5 in such interactions is crucial for predicting and managing potential risks in clinical settings.
