Drug synergy occurs when drugs can interact in ways that enhance or magnify one or more effects, or side-effects, of those drugs. This is sometimes exploited in combination preparations, such as codeine mixed with acetaminophen as a pain reliever. However, the side effects can be on the 'bad' side and using two or more that act the same way as far as these bad side effects, can produce terrible results. Both side have to be looked at carefully before using.

What is the difference between drug action and drug effect?

Drug action is the mechanism by which drug exerts its effects (i.e. the way it acts in the body to produce its effects). Drug response is the improvement or effect observed when the drug is administered. Drug effect is the improvement (or the portion thereof) due to the physiological mechanism itself. The drug effect is calculated by subtracting the placebo arm from the drug arm of a randomized controlled trial (RCT). In other words, drug response - placebo response = drug effect.
