    Pharmacological interaction refers to the alteration of a drug's effect when administered alongside another, affecting its absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion, potentially leading to adverse effects. Objective: To determine the prevalence of drug interactions in patients undergoing plastic-aesthetic surgery at the CIMA Clinic in Loja from January 2023 to May 2024. Methods:A quantitative study with an observational design, retrospective subtype, and descriptive scope. A total of 295 medical records were analyzed. Drug interactions were identified using the Medscape search platform and analyzed with IBM SPSS software. Results: The prevalence of drug interactions was 26.6% (hospitalization), 54.90% (operating room), and 10.0% (outpatient prescriptions). The most frequently operated patients in plastic- aesthetic surgery were women (75.9%), individuals aged 30-39 (35.80%), and those with higher education levels. The most commonly performed plastic surgery was rhinoplasty (58.3%). The drugs with the highest number of interactions were enoxaparin (26 interactions, hospitalization), ondansetron (282 interactions, operating room), and pantoprazole (11 interactions, prescriptions). This study found no relationship between the administered drugs and the presence of interactions.
