The increasing prevalence of drug-resistant pathogens and complex chronic diseases necessitates the development of more effective treatment strategies. Combination therapies can address these challenges by:
1. Enhancing Efficacy: By targeting different pathways or mechanisms, combination therapies can provide a more comprehensive approach to treatment. 2. Minimizing Resistance: Using multiple drugs simultaneously can reduce the likelihood of pathogens developing resistance. 3. Reducing Side Effects: Lower doses of each drug can be used, potentially reducing the overall burden of side effects.
