ALFARO-MORA, Ramsés; LORIA-GRANADOS, Mariana  e  CAMACHO-BOGANTES, Dylan. Polypharmacy in minor species of veterinary clinics in the province of Heredia in Costa Rica. Rev. colomb. cienc. quim. farm. [online]. 2018, vol.47, n.1, pp.5-13. ISSN 0034-7418.  https://doi.org/10.15446/rcciquifa.v47n1.70652.

Drug interactions are the result of co-administration of several drugs. The present study aimed to identify the animal populations that have the greatest exposure to polypharmacy in veterinary clinics located in urban areas of the province of Heredia, Costa Rica, as well as the report of the main pharmacological interactions registered in these. It was found that the canine species is the one that comes more frequently to consultation and in turn is the one that is exposed more frequently to the polymerization, and this brings with it greater probability of drug interactions. The main documented interactions are with antifungals, anti-inflammatories, glucocorticoids, and antibacterials.
