potentiation


Explanation:
This is a pharmacology term.

from: http://www.indiana.edu/~engs/rbook/drug.html

Potentiation

Potentiation occurs when two drugs are taken together and one of them intensifies the action of the other. This could be expressed by a +b= B. As an example, Phenergan(R), an antihistamine, when given with a painkilling narcotic such as Demerol(R) intensifies its effect, there by cutting down on the amount of the narcotic needed.
