β¦ Synopsis
The concept of additivity of drug combinations is widely accepted in pharmacology and toxicology. Up to now, no general statistical methods to test that property are available. The present paper gives a mathematical formulation of additivity, a method to fit dose response surfaces under additivity assumption and a statistical test.

Pharmacogenomics is defined as the study of the association between genetics and drug response. This is a rapidly expanding field with the hope that, within a few years, prospective genotyping will lead to patients being prescribed drugs which are both safer and more effective (βthe right drug for t
