Synergy:
Synergy:
A mutually reinforcing drug interaction such that the joint effect of two drugs administered simultaneously is greater than the sum of their individual effects. Synergism is distinguished from additivity, in which the joint effect of two drugs is equal to the sum of their individual effects. If the joint effect is less than the sum of the two drugs' independent effects, the interaction is said to be antagonistic.
Cf. Antagonism, Potentiation
