The coexistence of psychiatric disorders and cardiovascular diseases represents a complex clinical challenge, often necessitating the concurrent use of medications from both therapeutic categories. While these medications are essential for managing their respective pathologies, their combined use can lead to interactions that may affect treatment outcomes and patient safety. Understanding the interactions between psychotropic drugs and those used in cardiovascular diseases is crucial for healthcare professionals to optimize therapeutic regimens and minimize potential adverse effects. This article aims to explore the various types of interactions between psychotropic and cardiovascular medications, analyze their underlying mechanisms, evaluate the clinical implications, and propose strategies to reduce risks and optimize treatment outcomes. By understanding these interactions, healthcare professionals can enhance clinical decision-making and provide safer and more effective pharmacotherapy for patients with complex medical needs.
