Abstract
We have conducted a systematic qualitative review on the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic drug-drug interactions associated with antimalarial agents recommended by the World Health Organization. In this review, we have identified a few limitations in the available literature. These limitations, as well as suggested future experiments to overcome these shortcomings, are summarized below.
