The arrows 1 and 2 indicate an increase or decrease of drug concentration, respectively. Boldface text outlines interactions reported in the literature (reference number), whereas standard characters represent potential interactions predicted from theoretical considerations (but not yet reported in the literature). “Absence of interaction” means that a clinical study concluded to the absence of interaction (reference number), and “—” means that no interaction is either reported or theoretically expected.
