Answer:

The correct answer is: Synergism.

Step-by-step explanation:

Synergism occurs when two or more drugs that have similar pharmacological effects are administered to the same patient.

Sometimes, synergism is actually the objective in the treatment of the patient, but other times this interaction produces adverse effects that can lead to the damage of organs or other serious conditions.
