Potential drug interactions with antibacterials in long-term care facilities analyzed by two interaction checkers

Conclusion Potential interactions between antibacterials, especially fluoroquinolones and other drugs, were common in long-term care facility residents treated with antibacterials. Differences in the number of potential drug –drug interactions between the two checkers indicate that if available the use of several sources of information is recommended in clinical practice. The results call for a collaborative approach to address the risks of drug–drug interactions.
