Application of bioassays in studies on the impact of pharmaceuticals on the environment
PublicationDrug interactions are often desirable particularly in medicine, when treatment of a patient requires using a mixture of drugs in specific doses to produce the adequate therapeutic effect. Unfortunately, interactions between drugs in the environment are not as desirable, despite the fact that drugs are present in the environment at low concentration levels [1]. Pharmaceuticals are present in the environment in a mixture of compounds,...
