Abstract
Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) have long been recognized as a crucial clinical challenge in healthcare, occurring when two or more drugs react with each other, leading to decreased effectiveness, causing unexpected side effects, or increasing the action of one drug, causing toxicity. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a significant part of adverse drug reactions related to drug-drug interactions is preventable. In Palestine, the healthcare system faces unique challenges, including limited resources, restricted access to advanced clinical decision support systems, and evolving pharmaceutical education standards. No empirical research has evaluated DDI competencies among pharmacy students in Palestine during their educational years. Study purpose.
